My journey with groups and organizations began over 30 years ago. At the age of 14, I participated as a beneficiary in a youth project in a peripheral neighborhood of Santiago, Chile. From that moment on, I became a youth group animator and coordinator of projects and services for people and groups in fragile situations, working in diverse cultural contexts such as Chile, Brazil, and Italy.
I graduated in 2003 with a degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Santiago, Chile. In Italy, I specialized in the action-research approach for community development, the operational approach to groups, and the theater of the oppressed.
I have worked on socio-educational projects, cultural animation, and international cooperation, experiencing firsthand the structural difficulties of systems and organizations. These experiences have taught me the value of group collaboration to achieve a common goal and have allowed me to understand the challenges organizations face when there is a lack of sense in work processes. This is where my passion for change through horizontal processes comes from, which restore dignity to work and empower people.
In recent years, I have worked as a trainer and consultant, supporting work teams, institutions, and companies. I have applied the many experiences and lessons learned along the way, thanks to encounters with people and organizations. The methodology of horizontal leadership has become my main source of inspiration and nourishment, allowing me to integrate the development of people with that of organizations.
