I'm a very proactive person, very observant about methodologies, strategies and creative processes of the teams I’ve been a part of. I'm a versatile and very organized person, adapting very well to various projects and roles.
My main interests lie in pedagogy, sociology, and politics. I value leisure time as a counterbalance to a workaholic culture, which doesn't mean I'm not dedicated and deeply commited to my responsibilities. I am generally easygoing and open-minded, though at times this can make me a bit distracted [something like not getting a pretty obvious joke or underlying information]. I consider myself empathetic and detail-oriented, often adding or asking for nuance in discussions. For me, being a good person matters more than being considered successful.

[Since much of my work involves template elaboration, workshops and methods implementation, I can't share it publicly in a portfolio. But I'd be happy to talk about these projects during an interview.]
