About Me I’m currently director of Libertades Públicas A.G., which is a Chilean NGO that has the mission to protect civil liberties such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, protection against arbitrary and illegal discrimination and gender rights. The work of this NGO was the main responsible of the legal reform in Chile with regard to the elimination of the cinema censorship in the 1990’s. In law school, I was elected Vice-president of the student body and I participated twice in the Philip C. Jessup Moot Court Competition and in the International Arbitration Competition organized by Universidad de Buenos Aires. In 2009, I was selected to represent Chile at the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin, Germany for the forum “Europe meets Latin America 2009”.

During 2003 and 2004 I worked actively in PRIDE Youth Programs, the oldest American organization devoted to drug abuse and violence prevention through education, reaching the status of trained member. During my experience with PRIDE, I worked with Chilean kids in social risk and in the training programs held in the United States and Argentina.
