I am writing my master's thesis under the supervision of Dr. Jean-François Mayer, focusing on the social movements of creative workers resisting the power of digital platforms. My research interests focus on the processes of production, circulation, and consumption of cultural goods in Latin America, with a particular emphasis on the creative work of artists and cultural producers on digital platforms, cultural policy frameworks, governance mechanisms, and strategies of resistance within the cultural field.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Literature from the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters, and Human Sciences and a Master’s degree in Sciences from the Graduate Program in Latin American Integration. I am currently pursuing postgraduate studies at Concordia University, where I am an active member of the Lab for Latin American & Caribbean Studies and the Center for Latin American Studies on Culture and Communication (CELACC).
