I am a Peruvian Biologist and environmental activist born in Juliaca, Puno. My journey began as a traveler from infancy, growing up between the high Altiplano and my grandparents' lands in the montane forests of Cusco.

My primary focus is community-led conservation and ecology. My ultimate goal and passion lie in the study of bats and carnivores, specialized fields where I aim to bridge the gap between scientific research and local knowledge. My academic dedication has been recognized through multiple national and international scholarships, which have taken me to Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia for advanced training and research.

Rodrigo is a senior student of political science and international relations, and a first-generation university student from a low-income, migrant family.

Alongside his institutional work, Rodrigo is a strategic digital storyteller. Through experience-based content, he utilizes social media to expand access to opportunities, share capacity-building resources, and demystify elite policy spaces for young people from marginalized backgrounds. His work has driven over 300% growth in followers in recent months, building an engaged lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) community of young changemakers.

Additionally, his impact has been recognized through competitive international fellowships, notably his selection as a Salzburg Global Public Policy New Voices Europe Fellow and US State Department Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellow.

As a former Youth Advisor to the President of the European Economic and Social Committee, Rodrigo has engaged directly with senior policymakers and institutional actors and, on behalf of the President’s Youth Advisory Council, facilitated high-level dialogue in Brussels with the President of the EESC and the EU Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport, advocating for the consolidation of youth participation mechanisms within EU governance.

He has represented Portugal and the European region internationally at the Global Youth Summit on Digital Rights in Argentina, the International Youth Conference on Biodiversity in Japan and CIVICUS’s International Civil Society Week in Thailand. A Gulbenkian Merit Scholar and accomplished public speaker, he delivered an Ignite presentation to an audience of over 1200 people.

His work bridges institutional advocacy and public communication, actively resisting tokenism and fostering meaningful collaboration with institutions, civil society and a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that youth perspectives, in their plurality, genuinely shape policy debates.
