About

Where finance, AI, and social impact converge.

Born and raised in Peru, I have always been driven to tackling the real world challenges that shaped my community. Early in my journey, this commitment led me to work in education and gender equity across national and international spaces.

Now, as an undergraduate at Columbia University and Sciences Po Paris, I work at the intersection of economics and technology, specializing in fintech and artificial intelligence. I design data driven systems that inform strategy and generate market impact, building technical architecture that expands sustainable opportunity in emerging markets.

Whether in banking or international policy, I apply analysis and technology where it matters most.
