Le encanta comunicar, aprender y, si puede, hacer arte de ello. Le gusta crear y poner iniciativa y ganas en todo lo que hace, saltar a la piscina (y si está vacía aprender de ello) y disfrutar de lo nuevo que aporta el mundo para enseñarle.Hablando de enseñanzas, su paso por la carrera le ha hecho observar con detenimiento tanto a las personas a nivel individual como la sociedad que nos rodea: los prejuicios, estereotipos y normas sociales que nos influencian en la intimidad. Y a todo ello siempre le ha gustado añadirle perspectiva de género. Por ello ha tomado la decisión de hablar de una experiencia colectiva que, sin embargo, nos llevamos todas las noches a la cama.
