Due to system failures, we are under construction.
I deleted the wrong stuff, working on it, to go online again.
I am on a journey of living adventurously, learning independently, embracing freedom, stepping into the world with trust, contemplating profound questions, exploring magical realms, finding meaning in life, reconciling with impermanence and uncertainty of the future and recognizing that exploration can be internal as well.Intersectional Justice
I apply a deep understanding of how diverse identities—shaped by race, gender, culture, and social status—intersect and influence access to rights, opportunities, and resources.
Drawing on my expertise in design, anthropology, and strategic communication, I have led initiatives that confront systemic inequalities, promote female leadership, and foster civil society capacity to combat disinformation and misinformation. The projects highlighted here showcase my commitment to transformative change, driving collaborative solutions that center the voices and needs of those most affected by social and environmental injustices.
