A young scholar with practical experience, intrigued by cities, their people, and complexities. What inspires me the most to do my research are the everyday life activities and experiences of culturally rich urban environments. My curiosity lies in understanding how invisible interactions and the own (co)existence of diverse bodies in public spaces can make people reflect, perceive, feel and experience urbanicity.
Much of what brings me to this context today is my lived experience as a queer, latino, immigrant, traveller, and nature lover person. My evolving identity is inevitably infused with my professional experience. The lenses I bring from my journey in the environmental analysis and ecology field help me to see the world as this complex ever-changing system of living elements, relations, and landscapes.
