I am the founder of Ekamente, Peru's 1st neuroscience & mental health youth organization. It was certified by SENAJU (Secretariat of National Youth, an entity of The Ministry of Education of Peru), helping to strengthen their personal growth and positively cultivate their minds. Works alongside neuroscience to provide scientifically-supported tools that enhance emotional well-being and integral development through our talks we are for empowering teenagers and youth people, social activities realized in schools, human settlements and so on, our mission is to empower teens to embrace a growth mindset, recognize their worth, and cultivate healthy emotional habits so they can heal and reach their full potential. Our vision is by 2034, we aim to contribute to reducing cases of depression and suicide attempts among Peruvian and foreign adolescents between the ages of 13 and 21.

Connecting with people and fostering spaces where teenagers and young adults can grow has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I hope to contribute through my hands-on experience in Neuroscience and Mental Health, driving engagement and bringing energy to the community. In return, I'm looking for mutual support between Catalyst Now and Ekamente sharing contacts, experiences, and mentorship so both communities can thrive together.
