I’m a community leader, public health advocate, and regional co-director of Partido de la U in Risaralda. I work closely with vulnerable populations to reduce stigma and discrimination related to STIs and HIV, and promote access to prevention tools like PrEP. I'm passionate about inclusive public policy, human rights, and the social integration of LGBTI communities.
