At just 21 years old, Christian is in his third year of Electrical Engineering at INSA Lyon. Originally from Vallede Chalco, Mexico, he completed high school at CECyT No. 9 'Juan de Dios Bátiz Paredes'.

His dream of studying in France began back in middle school. Since then, he worked hard to prepareacademically and meet every challenge. But after a key bilateral agreement between INSA and his homeuniversity was canceled, the biggest obstacle became financial.

In Mexico, he sold candy, organized raffles, and even took out loans just to keep going.
Today, due to his family’s economic situation, Christian juggles temporary jobs, summer work, and intensestudy weeks to afford his daily expenses. Despite the challenges, he doesn’t give up. It’s this very strugglethat fuels his determination to succeed.
His goal: finish his degree at INSA, find a job, and support his family back home.

Together, we can achieve anything!
