The Unconventional Geek



Passionate about innovation: Be disruptive!

I see myself as a student of life, always learning new things and eager to learn more. Therefore, I enjoy new challenges and I am always looking for how to overcome my limits. I am a proud mum of a baby boy and a wife but also a Fashionista, sports enthusiast, music and arts lover and traveller by nature! I do "believe in Pink" and that to be yourself in a world that pushes you to be a follower of trends is the greatest achievement you will ever get!

Thus I am a passionate person who has courage to stand for her beliefs and the drive to lead initiatives with optimism and fierce determination "making things happen"​.



Proud Mum & Wife



I love to spend weekends playing with my baby boy and hanging out with my family, they are my number one priority and the motivation to do everything else.

As a CSM® and CSPO®, I promote Agile methodologies (Scrum and Kanban) with all the benefits that those frameworks add to the business. I implement JIRA and Confluence to facilitate it.
