She holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations and further specialized by doing a postgraduate in Indigenous Peoples’ Rights, Human Rights, and International Cooperation. Natalia started working in the field of human rights as an international observer for projects in Colombia and Mexico where she accompanied a variety of threatened human rights defenders (campesino communities, Indigenous leaders, feminist organizations, etc). She believes advocating for non-mainstream cosmovisions (especially Indigenous) and ways of relating to the Earth and one another is one of the most sustainable ways of taking care of both our planet and our society.
