About me

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, land of amazing coffee, beautiful flowers, and the most megadiverse country per square kilometer in the world. I am a Law School graduate of Universidad de los Andes, but also went to Architecture School for 4 years (before actually deciding to become a lawyer!). I have been involved for over 3 years with trademark and copyright law in Latin America, as I've worked for Baker & McKenzie Bogotá's office for IP, Unfair Competition and Dispute Resolution matters, and was a legal intern for Creative Commons in 2011. I am passionate about intellectual property, free-knowledge, meeting new people and trying out restaurants anywhere. In my free time you would find me out traveling, socializing, taking random pictures of buildings or watching tons of TV shows and musicals.

My work

I assist Wikimedia's legal area in issues related to Privacy, Trademarks, and overall any need of the LCA team.
