Facilitator, learning designer, artist, and researcher with a background in Latin American History, Culture, and Performance Studies. Radical Tenderness has been the drive of my research and practice, it is rooted in affect theory, cuir (queer), and decolonial dreamings and seeks to think/feel all our political and affective systems to imagine better ways of living. This tenderness started from movement practice and moved through performance research, cultural production, creative pedagogy, inclusive curriculum development, community organization, and knowledge management.

My work at RNW Media is entangled with learning co-creative processes related to media literacy, digital advocacy, Ai for Good, MEAL practices and content creation. At RNW Media our approach to learning is simple: learning is a collective process and a communal disposition. Our sessions offer space to listen to diverse voices, support each other in asking better questions, and offer practical insights to take and share.
