Co-founder @HerPowerSuits

Passionate about human rights advocacy, women empowerment, environmental law, climate change, environmental advocacy, healthcare as a human right, healthcare for all, data privacy and protection law, gender equality, democracy and rule of law, and international law.

Currently, I am a clinical director of a physical therapy clinic in NY. At the same time, I am a consultant at the Institute for Democratic Resilience, a UK-based think thank. I am also working on building up the community of HerPowerSuits with my amazing co-founder, @ludofabrizi, in order to create a place where women empowerment is driven by empowered women.

On my spare time, I spend 10-15 hours/week doing pro bono legal work for a non-profit helping low-income New Yorkers access and utilize their health insurance and appeal denials of coverage.

I am also very passionate about travel -- exploring new places and learning about other cultures. ✈️ 50+ countries and counting.
