Visual Artist and researcher, with studies in Audiovisual Production from the New York Film Academy and two Master’s degrees—one in Human Development Processes and another in Art and Aesthetics Research. My work bridges visual arts, feminist theory, and social research, with a strong focus on how art shapes public space, collective experience, and everyday politics.

I have presented my research in international academic settings, including the Arts in Society Conference in Seoul, South Korea and the Conference of the European Sociological Association (ESA) – Sociology of the Arts, held in Barcelona Barcelona, sharing work that examines feminist artistic practices, participatory methodologies, and the social life of art in urban spaces.

My practice is closely linked to artistic activism, using creative strategies to address issues related to gender and urban life. I have participated in multiple collective exhibitions and curatorial projects exploring the intersections between collectivity, art, gender, and public space.

Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Sociology at the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities (BUAP), where my research focuses on contemporary art history and feminist artistic practices, particularly participatory art interventions.
