ABOUT

I am a Mexican screenwriter based in Barcelona. I develop film and television projects between Mexico and Spain, with a particular interest in dark comedy, domestic horror and intimate stories shaped by motherhood, grief, violence and identity.

Before turning to screenwriting, I spent over fifteen years building and operating technology companies across Latin America. That experience still informs my writing: I am drawn to characters facing systems, moral choices and worlds that are beginning to slip out of control.
