Before coming to , I worked at PC World, a magazine specialized in technology, where my curiosity for this world started. My first steps in programming were with Python which helped me to fall in love with programming. Afterwards, I learned Java, a little bit of Ruby and Javascript. Nowadays, I’m immersed in the front-end world. I’m a person who likes to always learn or try something new, that is why my hobbies are multiple from cooking to playing tennis or doing hand crafting activities.
I am an activist for gender justice and equality. I pushed forward multiple activities inside the offices like: Gender Justice Group, Training: How to deal with sexism in the workplace and multiple spaces for discussions and learning. I worked in global initiatives inside to promote Diversity and Inclusion. Now, I’m looking for opportunities to mentor women inside and outside to inspire their journeys and help them to build a leadership path.
I believe that social change is possible and that it must start within oneself. If I need to choose one word to describe myself it would be “dreamer”.
