Summary
Neither as a teacher with more than five years of experience nor as a Master’s student in Social, Health, and Organizational Psychology, but simply as a fallible curious human being, I am driven by a desire to understand the world and create solutions that make our environments healthier, happier, and more entertaining, always with the support of science and scientific tools.
I am deeply invested in current crises that affect human well-being, especially environmental and developmental challenges. I enjoy writing and see myself as a creative person who doesn’t easily fit into old molds. I believe humans shouldn’t only adapt; we should also come up with innovative ideas that prevent the negative consequences of that adaptation.
My abilities and skills revolve around developing creative, engaging solutions that help people navigate environmental issues and make organizations more lively, cooperative, and future-oriented. I naturally think strategically and use storytelling as a tool to bring ideas to life and make them meaningful.
