The Internet has drastically altered the trajectory of my life for the better and I’ve made it my mission to impact the lives of others. At Internet Society I’ve been able to shape policy, to help the causes I believe in, and find a fellowship of bold, enthusiastic, like-minded people.

Where I live in Mexico, I’ve seen people use the Internet to boost their income and quality of life. But it needs to happen faster. The Internet Society opened doors for me to meet others who are just as passionate about connectivity’s incredible impact. Together we can change lives!
