Biography
I studied law at the Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico, where I graduated with honours. I then completed my specialization Basic Training and Preparation Course for Secretaries (Judicial Clerks) of the Mexican Federal Judiciary. I also completed my LL.M. in International and Comparative Law, at Trinity College Dublin, where I wrote the dissertation ‘Rethinking the Right to an Effective Remedy: The Right to A Universal Remedy by UN Courts to Guarantee the Equal and Universal Protection of Human Rights’.
From 2018 to 2024 I worked in a Federal District Court in Mexico, that hears amparo cases (constitutional remedy). From 2023 to 2024 I served as a Secretario de Juzgado (Judicial Clerk).[1] During my judicial career, I had the opportunity to draft relevant judgments on constitutional law and human rights protection.
Research
My main research interests are comparative constitutional law, global constitutionalism, international human rights law, the right to an effective remedy and the judicial protection of human rights. Drawing on these elements, my thesis seeks to develop a new perspective on the international constitutional order regarding the need for a global constitutional review mechanism for international human rights law. The right to a social and international order where human rights can be realised, enshrined in Article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, will be a cornerstone for developing this new perspective. Furthermore, the thesis aims to elaborate a theory of universality control and a proposal for an International (Constitutional) Court of Human Rights.
Thesis title
‘Rethinking Global Constitutionalism: Theory of Universality Control and Proposal for a United Nations International (Constitutional) Court of Human Rights’

Publications
I created a social media account and a blog called ‘Centinela Jurídico’ (Legal Sentinel) to spread about the law and legal history in Mexico and around the World.
On my website, I have published two relevant reports (in Spanish):
[1] Judicial Clerk (Secretario de Juzgado) in Mexico is a legally trained professional who assists the judge by drafting resolutions and judgements. This position is one step below the judge in the judicial career. Serving as a Judicial Clerk is usually a requirement to participate in competitive examinations to be appointed as a judge.
