About me
I am a DP1 student at UWC Changshu China, passionate about education, sustainability, and social equity. As a young Peruvian leader, I’ve dedicated the past years to empowering youth and women in vulnerable communities through civic engagement, inclusive education, and grassroots action. I am the founder of LXT CHANGE, an organization promoting youth leadership and intercultural dialogue in highland Peru. I’ve also served as a national volunteer and change agent for RENAJE, where I co-led workshops and advocacy campaigns aligned with SDGs 4 and 5. As part of this work, I currently coordinate the program "Mujeres Sin Fronteras", amplifying the voices and leadership of rural women. Some of my most meaningful recognitions include: - Youth Ambassadors Program alumna (U.S. Department of State) - Winner of the IEI Global Leadership Challenge, earning a fully funded trip to the U.S. (Boston, NYC, Washington D.C.) - National delegate at the Peruvian Youth Encounter - Ambassador for Proyéctate Perú and HundrED (Finland)
