About Me

It is so hard to describe myself... (although I know myself pretty well!). But let's give it a try anyway:

I currently work as a bibliotherapist (which is a lot like psychotherapist with using tools of texts and narratives) with ASD children, and love every aspect of it. Besides that, I started to work on my PhD this year, which takes much of my time.
In my (little) spare time I enjoy being at home reading/ listening to music and reflecting about life /playing with my cats/ having a glass of wine&cheese and sharing time with my partner, or hanging out with friends.
I'm also an activist in the local queer community, participating and organizing events and demos that deal with human/ women /animals/ lgbtq (etc.) rights.
One of the hottest details about me is that I perform as a drag king from time to time and LOVE it (you're very welcome to check my pictures and see :D ).

It seems enough for now, I already feel like you know me so well! ;)
