About Me

As an undergraduate, I studied Anthropology and Philosophy. Afterwards, I worked with the AmeriCorps in Phoenix, Arizona, USA aiding refugees. I then moved to Marbella, Málaga, Spain for several years working at some public schools. I missed school, however, so I returned to the US to pursue graduate studies at the University of Illinois in Latin American Studies. Since finishing my Master's, I've moved to Porto Alegre, Brazil.
