I'm PhD candidate in Political Studies at the University of Milan. MA in International Studies, University of the Basque Country, Spain, and BA in International Relations, Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil.

So I write and translate to Global Voices for what I believe and for what I'm passionate about.
