I know I’m a weirdo, and I like it that way. There’s something liberating about not fitting neatly into boxes. Being weird means you’re free to invent your own shape. That’s my superpower. Normal is boring.

Professional title:
Visual Collage Artist (Amateur) & History Teacher
What do you do?
By day I teach history to teenagers, and by night I'm making collage art, reading, binge-watching something, or cooking something new.
Why?
I do it because I believe in the power of stories. Whether through history or art. To question, connect, and transform. Teaching and creating are both ways I try to make sense of the world.
What should we read?
“Por que budista não mata barata?” (Does a Buddhist Kill Cockroaches?), by Padma Dorje (Eduardo Pinheiro)
