About me
Recent graduate in Communication and Cultural Policies, with experience in project management, communication and research for cultural events and institutions. I have a deep interest in dealing with creative practices, using innovation and sensitivity towards current issues to unpack technological and societal transformations. As an independent researcher, I explore how decolonial, queer, feminist perspectives and their counter-narratives shape arts and culture. I have to offer methodical planning, a dynamic attitude, and a good eye for creative materials and topics in the zeitgeist.
