Put the mouse over to turn me into human!
About me
I'm your classic 90's kid nerd that loves cats, anime and games. I have more than 1,600 hours on Dota 2 and hit Diamond Rank in 4 seasons of Teamfight Tactics, so I probably haven't watched most of the Netlifx series around. People say I'm a good friend, so I've been trying to live up to their expectations. I don't like exercising, but I love to cook - I'm called fridge alchemist because I can create Michelin-star-winning dishes with what you have in your refrigerator.
I am open to internships, part-time and full-time positions in UX Research, UX Writing and Project Managment.
I've achieved some things professionally too so, if you're interested, here's the full resume with education, soft and hard skills and work experience.

Soft Skills
-
Great teamworker: I acctually function much better in interdisciplinary teams.
-
Empath problem-solver: as a believer of Design Thinking, all the solutions should be people-centered.
-
Self-motivated and responsible: I tend to have a positive attitude over obstacles and mostly don't let myself down. I'm also very comitted to schedules and deadlines.
-
Pressure doesn't put me down: having over 200 students every semester at the University made me develop nerves of steel, and faster-than-lightning thinking.
-
Researcher's blood: I'm versed in many types of methodologies, from marketing to UX research, and love sherlock-style investigations.
-
Fast learner: I always say that I don't know something YET. Give me some time and I'll learn it!
