⚙️ PhD in Economics (in progress) — studying the world from the inside.
Finance & management controlling.
Quietly obsessed with international cooperation and schizophrenia — both systemic and human.
If entropy feels familiar, you’re home.

This space was born there — in the curve between what I was and what I’m trying to build.

This is where it started. I came from LatAm and began working in Europe for a listed North American company. Global standards, learning to operate between worlds. Committed to the craft of economics and to building a social business that serves the real economy. Stepping into 2026✨🌎

If economics assumes humans are money-making robots, the model is broken from the start. Humans are multidimensional beings: wellbeing, dignity and purpose shape economic outcomes. A distorted view of behaviour leads to distorted economics.

On my path toward the PhD, there are moments of sacrifice, frustration, and excitement — and also adventure: discovering places filled with knowledge, history,and quiet inspiration. These are the spaces where research meets reflection, and where learning turns into wisdom.

💬 We talk about freedom, but go silent when it comes to money.
It’s not modesty — it’s conditioning.
A system that teaches us how to pray, love, and compete —
yet never how to understand real value.
Money isn’t just a taboo.
It’s the secret language of power. 💸

💬 Hablamos de libertad, pero callamos cuando se trata de dinero.
No es pudor: es programación.
Un sistema que enseña a rezar, amar y competir —
pero nunca a entender el valor real de las cosas.
Por eso el dinero no es solo un tabú.
Es el idioma secreto del poder. 💸

Funny how my husband and a stranger described me the same way. 💭
“You make people smile because you tell uncomfortable truths with elegance.”
Strange how recognition can feel both intimate and distant at once. 🪩

Es la primera vez que, dentro de mi investigación, me resuena la teología —
la de Nouwen, la de la liberación…
Y entiendo que hay lecturas para las que aún no estás preparada.
Como dice Nouwen:
“Discernir no cambia el mundo,
cambia la manera en que lo vemos,
y eso lo cambia todo.”

🚆 Most of my studying happens on trains —not because they help me focus, but because life won’t stop.
The noise, the motion, the in-between hours —sometimes they’re all I have.
Maybe it’s not about learning more,
but about not giving up on the way there. ⚙️

Doing the same over here 🙄 — escaping Meta one post at a time.👾
First attempt at posting here on Bluesky. I’m trying to move away from Instagram and will only be keeping anything Meta to follow greyhound and galgo rescues. Wish me luck on my writing session at my nearby coffee shop. #phdinprogress #igneouspetrologist #womeninstem
