In 2018, he was awarded the bronze medal at the Prix Luisa Díaz in Guadalajara. In 2019, he was invited to perform at the International Ballet Gala in Bari, Italy, and also attended the ballet seminar held during the same event.

During his time in Monterrey, he performed in the 45th anniversary gala at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City (2022) and was a semi-finalist at Youth Grand Prix México in 2023. He was selected for academic exchanges with Quenedit Ballet School in Texas, the State Dance School of Tabasco in Mexico, and The Sarasota Cuban Ballet School in Florida.

He was also chosen to perform with Ballet de Monterrey in their 2022 production of Swan Lake by Thiago Soares and in the 2024 production of Romeo and Juliet by Marcelo Gomes, under the direction of Yosvani Ramos.
