I have been interested about global issues ever since I can remember. Human rights, gender equality, inclusion & diversity, cultures and environmental issues are my work and my passion. The unequal status of women in society has always been unsettling to me and I try my best to contribute to a movement that aims at achieving gender equality no later than 2030.

Using social media as a way to influence people to spread ideas that have the potential to change relationships for the better and make people more mindful of their influence over the environment around them.

Give voice to people who are struggling to be heard.

TEDxParqueDasNaçõesWomen was my first TEDx as an organizer and curator, which was organized with the support and sponsorship of the French Embassy in Brazil, Heads Propaganda Advertising Agency and UN Women Brazil. It was the way we found to bring together women from different backgrounds to inspire other women to become agents of change. I was also one of 5 curators for the first ever TEDxBrasilia, and we were part of a bigger team of TEDx enthusiasts. I was also responsible for content writing for the event.
