Hello, My name is Sheila and although sometimes people think I am from Brazilian/Spanish/Indian due to my name, I am originally from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Another thing that I can say about me is that I am a proper geek. A geek in a sense that someone who is interested in a subject for its own sake and my interest mostly related to sustainability and climate change as I graduated from Msc Sustainability (business, environment and corporate social responsibility). I feel grateful to currently live in Bonn and watch the climate change conference happening in front of me (COP23) and this is something I am always passionate about to talk with other people I've met. So don't be surprised if I look introverted at first (in which I am a social introvert according to many psychology tests), but I will always get excited somehow when we are talking about this issue.

Aside from the boring stuff I mentioned above, I am also a music festivalgoers. So far I have been to several music festivals and countless concerts all around the world including Glastonbury festival and Lollapalooza Berlin.

To sum up, I can be serious and playful at the same time.
