I like pushing myself out of my comfort zone. By hitchhiking or backpacking I discovered different places, cultures, and people but also to be able to adapt to any situation or see things from another perspective.
I'm a passionate person, once something new grabs my attention I put all my energy to learn about it, to build it or just to get it. Some years ago, I accomplished my dream of having a camper van, I bought a truck and build it by myself (well, ok... with my partner).
My professional experience as a project manager made me confortable with tight deadlines, planning, and collaborating with team members and stakeholders. As a researcher I learned the importance of empathy and to be analytical in order to come up with reliable data based solutions.
My academic background has helped me to be analytical and I learned the use and application of different methodologies. As well as, understanding social aspects, constraints, or structural problems makes me better understand users, their context, and therefore, the use of a product or service.
