Life is short! I try to have fun while making a positive impact on our planet and within our community.
In the initial five years of my career, I worked as an engineer and project manager in the field of Solar PV and Smart Cities, spanning across Europe and Asia. Later, I ventured to Catalonia, Spain, where I embarked on a thrilling startup journey. I co-founded and led Aquapioneers for three years, a socially-driven company dedicated to creating Aquaponics ecosystems to promote project-based learning in schools. Following this adventure, I transitioned into freelancing, developing project-based learning experiences and skills development content for learning-driven organizations.
As an innovation agent, I leverage my diverse background, spanning twelve years of experience across Engineering, Business, Design, and most recently Psychotherapy and Ecstatic Dance. I enjoy combining these skills to drive innovation.
#Worldwide citizen. Over the past fifteen years, I've called six different countries home, from the UK to France, Sweden to China, Hong Kong, and now Spain.
#Nature lover: My deep connection with nature traces back to my earliest years, spending countless hours by rivers while fly-fishing and exploring forests in search of wild mushrooms. When I'm at home, this connection is manifested in the way I cultivate my own food through permaculture.
#Free spirit: Somewhere around the age of 33, a near-fatal car accident became a profound wake-up call. It was then that I made two transformative decisions. The first led me on a healing journey through the realm of Ecstatic Dance (ED) allowing me to liberate my body, express my heart, and release my mind from the trauma of the car accident. Since then, ED is my medicine. The second decision was to convert a campervan, rekindling my love for nature, fly fishing, and mycology with my professionals commitments, all within the unparalleled freedom that Vanlife offers. Both choices played a crucial role in restoring equilibrium in my work-life balance.
