Having attended a constructivist school in my childhood and adolescence — aka “that hippie school without homework!”, according to mom — I was surrounded by people who cared deeply about the planet. I grew up in close contact with nature and involved in conversations about what was going on in the world and how to make it better. This influenced my personality and the choices I made, like becoming a communications professional to help others tell stories, be heard, and change the status quo.I firmly believe that we have power as citizens, voters and consumers, and that we can change things for the better if we make conscious choices and act together. I’m doing this by volunteering my time, skills and expertise, working on meaningful communication and education initiatives and being an active citizen and consumer.
