Hello, the first thing that comes to mind about me is that I am a good reader, free thinker and knowledge enthusiast. My expertise is in rural development and lately in public health. I co-founded an NGO called Earth Family that worked on sustainable food systems and participatory guarantee systems. Lately I work on sexual and reproductive rights innovation with an international agency.
My interests are getting to know places and life experiences. I have traveled through Colombia, Bolivia, Germany, India, Thailand, USA, Austria, among others.
