About me
Environmentalist passionate about animals and the sea. Anthropologist. Writer. Diver and freediver. Feminist. Academic Coach.
When i say I'm an environmentalist passionate about animals—I mean I am personally invested in the the care of life and justice, from an ecological and inter-dependency approach to human and non-human societies (not only as species but also as people). From this space I move between the academia and civil society organisations.
My passion for the sea reflects in my research and writing as an anthropologist, and also in my practice as a scuba diver and freediver.
When I say I am feminist—I mean that I acknowledge forms of patriarchal subordination that go through the devaluation of maintenance work, care, difference, and non-productivist and military approaches. I am interested in facilitating, through language and personal and collective work, other life possibilities for women and not only—because we have all been violated in some way by the patriarchy.
Academic Coach is the expression I have found to describe another passion. I am the first generation in my family to study a postgraduate degree in a second language and to find funding for it. I have had to learn on my own many practices and knowledge that are not talked about in my family, neither in academic circles nor by funding institutions. This is why I am interested in helping other people explore graduate options from a place of greater ease, kindness, and joy.
