Luisa has spent the last six years defending and promoting freedom of expression in Colombia from multiple angles: from journalist protection and the fight against impunity in the crimes against the press, to online free speech and the right to access public information.

She is interested in creating and advancing public policies that support online and offline free speech in Latin America and is looking to raise awareness among citizens on the importance of journalism for democracies.
