With a background in women’s studies, marketing, and analytics, and a firm belief in social justice, I advocate not just for human rights but also for species rights. I hold onto the idea that people are inherently good and that understanding should always take precedence over judgment. Sometimes, I feel I was born in the wrong era, as much of my wishful thinking is ahead of its time—but I remain hopeful for a future where compassion, equity, and progress prevail.
