About
Description
Mother of two lovely girls. Married. Veterinarian specializing in—and instructor of—canine and feline rehabilitation. An animal lover and extreme sports enthusiast, particularly kitesurfing and aerial silks. We love traveling as a family, savoring the moment, playing board and card games, and cherishing our humanity and social connections. When we travel, we seek to immerse ourselves in the local culture, meet people, and discover stories that enrich the soul. A neuroscience researcher currently pursuing a PhD, I am looking for a financially viable way to complete my doctoral studies at Harvard during the upcoming semesters (2027-1 and 2027-2).
