I navigate AI, privacy and technology risks, turning complex digital regulation into practical and implementable action.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I'm a privacy and data protection lawyer working at the intersection of law, technology, and AI governance, helping organizations turn complex regulatory obligations into decisions that organizations can act on with confidence. My focus is IT compliance and data protection: assessing technology systems, AI use cases, and IT changes against the Americas and EU-related frameworks. I've built this experience across a digital rights organization, UN / public-sector processes, and a leading global law firm - including advising global technology clients on cross-border privacy, assessing emerging AI systems, and driving stronger data protection standards in emerging technologies.
I hold an LLM in IT and Data Law from LSE, completed as a Chevening Scholar, alongside an advanced program in Competition Law and the Digital Economy at Oxford.
What I enjoy most is translation: taking a dense, ambiguous regulatory requirement and turning it into clear guidance for the people who have to implement it.
