My career path Since EMILDAI finished kicked off quite fast, before delivering my thesis I already had a job. Currently, I’ve had the opportunity to work in Madrid in Data Protection within the Fintech Industry and now I work in a Consulting Firm for the Investment Industry, focused in their cybersecurity (DORA) and Data Protection compliance. I managed to do all of this without even being a qualified lawyer in Spain, since the scope of EMILDAI knowledge area is quite international.

After completing the EMILDAI program, I had the honor of returning to my alma mater, Tecnológico de Monterrey, as a Lecturer in the School of Law. I currently teach Legal English and Private International Law, where I integrate my expertise in data protection, AI regulation, and cybersecurity gained through EMILDAI and my international experience. As part of my teaching, I also organize virtual conferences with international lawyer guests, giving students the chance to learn directly from global professionals and broaden their perspectives. This opportunity feels like a full circle moment, allowing me to give back to the institution where I first studied law, while inspiring a new generation of students to engage with the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of law and technology.

Building an international career in law was always a challenge I was determined to overcome. The EMILDAI programme marked a turning point in my journey, expanding both my expertise and international exposure while shaping my academic and professional direction. Following graduation, I joined the National Treasury Management Agency as a Privacy Officer within the State Claims Agency, where I work on GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance.
