About me
A born (and qualified) communicator, I firmly believe knowledge should always be shared. And it does not come only from universities.
​
I work with communication and human rights research, focused on gender and sexuality. I have a lot of experience in NGOs and non-profit projects.
​
I have done: writing, reporting, proofreading, translation, social media management, script and podcast/radio show production. And consulting and research.
​
I'm outspoken, hardworking and thirsty to learn. This made me "multitasking", as the job market likes to call it. After years of freelancing, I became even more organized, independent, good at time management and at working simultaneously on several projects.
​
You will find a synthetic CV below. But if you want to see what I've produced throughout my life and career, go to the "Writings" and "Projects and Campaigns" sections.
