Overview
About Me
I’m a positive and creative person, charged with enthusiasm to discover, learn, and improve. I feel engaged in social sciences and believe every person has the power to navigate change to a desired outcome. The outcome I desire is a happier, more playful and responsible world.
Currently, I'm working on a project called "Urban Nomads" aimed at improving the life conditions of homeless people through grassroots approach. I also work as a freelance event coordinator.
And I love being in the water, especially the ocean=)
