What inspires you?

I feel like a 3-in-1 person. I am an audiovisual engineering student, I've been a volunteer for five years and also a gymnastics judge. I do different things and try continually to do new things.

Tell us about an issue that matters to you and how you became aware and involved.

Social innovation means changing your attitude towards society and its challenges: instead of looking at it from the outside, you get involved and try to make a change. You feel responsible for it and you want to make some improvement no matter how small it seems.

Share your perspectives on what makes a good leader.

Javier Ogarrio and I have been working on a project for the Seed Funding challenge. We want to create a platform for startups and social innovators to have the opportunity to showcase their projects and meet potential investors. We want it to be places where you can whether start your own business or search for cool projects to fund. We were one of the selected projects so we can't wait to start developing it!



How do you use technology as part of your project?



It is technology-based. We chose to make an online platform to support it because it's easy to connect.



What project by another I4G member inspires you?



I love the I4G centers project. I think it's so important to give back and try to reach more and more people.

Do you think TakingITGlobal can help you achieve some of your goals? Have we already? Please tell us how.

Tokyo. I would love to visit a place that it so different from where I live and I find it pretty interesting.
