"I am a peace librarian from the village of Gallo in Tierralta. Córdoba. I am 27 years and was old born in Cúcuta - Norte de Santander. I am a social communicator and technologist working mostly in governmental agencies. I began working in 2014 as a promoter of reading in the municipal network of reading and writing in Cúcuta. In the summer of 2014, I was named director of the Simón Bolívar Public Library in the northern capital of Santander, where I was responsible for launching the so-called "lunada literaria," which involved promoting reading and film among vulnerable communities in the countryside.

In 2017 and 2018, as head of the Gallo Public Library, I became part of the group "Librarians for Peace" organized by the Ministry of Culture and the National Library of Colombia. Gallo was in the heart of the post-conflict. Here I was responsible for launching different initiatives to bring "library equipment" to territories that are difficult to access. The 'muloteca' and the 'literary canoe' are two of those initiatives. In addition, I was responsible for creating library and cultural content that has been well-recognized by local users and has attracted national attention, such as the film series "Gallo as you had never seen it before - The series." These activities helped the library to gain national recognition and take fifth place in the 2018 Daniel Samper Ortega National Library Prize in 2018.

I am pleased to see that The New York Times in Spanish noticed my work in Gallo, and highlighted it among the most important in the world: I am currently working at the Corpoculect, a Cultural Reading and Writing Corporation in the municipality of Cúcuta, which operates in the metropolitan area and at the Venezuelan border. Corpoculect provides books, 'lunadas,' movies and libraries."
