About me
I am a chemical engineer and an Indigenous woman with a master's degree in technological project design and management. I have experience in color development for polymers and quality control in the cosmetics industry. I focus on projects with social impact, especially in Indigenous communities, integrating ancestral and modern knowledge. I also work in science communication and translation between Mam and Spanish.
I am a chemical engineer with a master's degree in technological project design and management, and I have experience in the polymer and cosmetics industries, where I have worked in color development and quality control. Throughout my career, I have led projects focused on social impact, particularly in Indigenous communities, promoting the integration of ancestral knowledge with modern science.
I am interested in strengthening accessible and culturally relevant scientific communication, which is why I also work as a translator between the Mam language and Spanish. My work seeks to build bridges between different forms of knowledge to promote sustainable and context-specific solutions.
