Driven by her own journey toward autonomy, Fernanda’s mission is to ensure that the next generation’s path is defined by their own voices and self-assured choices.
I am passionate about:
The intersection of logic and human expression, from the predictable laws of physics to the unpredictable choices we make every day. My curiosity for how we navigate these systems—whether through mathematics or the storytelling of Tim Burton—leads me to a vital question: Does this have an impact on future generations?
