...everyone having a voice. To let people know the we all have stories, experiences, rights, struggles, potentials, uniqueness and passion that we can shout to the world.
But, I hope everyone would more often remember that we also need to listen.

I'm passionate about learning across disciplines. Biology, evolution, medicine, engineering, machine learning, languages, astronomy... if something makes me stop and think, "How does that work?" I'm probably interested.
I especially enjoy using languages as tools to learn. Studying Japanese has allowed me to access university courses that I never would have discovered otherwise, and it constantly reminds me that every language opens a new perspective on the world.

My current project is to experiment on how teaching Public Speaking, as a competence, can be a great 'wagon' on which we can move great goals of interaction, discovery and growth.

I’m passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to think clearly and brave enough to act honestly.
That includes helping speakers find the heart of their ideas, supporting leaders as they navigate uncertainty, and building communities rooted in curiosity rather than performance. I care deeply about conversations that move beyond surface-level inspiration and lead to genuine insight, connection, and change.
I’m especially drawn to work that balances structure with humanity—where rigor doesn’t come at the expense of warmth, and where growth is grounded in self-awareness rather than hype.
