Research Focus: Access inequalities to water and sanitation in informal settlements

WWAIWG Impact:
Feminism had a pivotal role in the construction of who I am as a woman and activist, and once you start seeing the world through the lens of power imbalances, you can never ‘unsee’ it, in all spheres. Fighting for more equal and inclusive spaces is something that drives me, and having found this group within academia made me feel belonging, reassured, and more empowered. I believe we can make change wherever our scale is, so expanding our group conversations and studies to whoever is interested out there is already a big, big win!

Hobbies and Interests:
Being a Brazilian is part of my identity: I am ever so passionate about our music, poetry, dance and literature. I’m always in for lazy, cosy days with friends over laughs and endless conversations about life. As a self-confessed perfectionist, I’m super interested in psychology – and learning how to be more emotionally intelligent in our relationships with others and ourselves. I also love travelling and exploring, it’s one of my biggest life joys stepping into a new place for the first time!
