About

Passionate about social change and justice, and how we can use behavioral insights to generate evidence-backed interventions and policies to bring about a more just world. I aim to work at the intersection of behavioral science, consulting and philosophy to apply these areas of knowledge to create meaningful social impact, with a focus on elevating marginalized communities. Having lived in Brazil, the United States, South Korea, India, Germany, Argentina, and the United Kingdom, I have learned to adapt my communication to different socio-cultural contexts.
