BA.

Psychologist

Clinical psychology has taught me that listening attentively is a powerful tool. For me, research is a parallel path that also seeks to understand and transform realities by giving voice to the experiences of those who are often not heard. Being part of CRONICAS is an opportunity to contribute with empathy and commitment, and to keep learning alongside a team that seeks to improve health through evidence.
