Since I was a kid I always had a strong passion for science and art. This has led me to follow a humanities high school in my teenage years, to pursue a biomedical science bachelor’s degree and to be currently enrolled in the master’s course of behavioural neuroscience at UvA.

However, during my university years I always felt that something was lacking and that what I was being taught in the lab could be employed for something that would encompass more interdisciplinary scopes than performing the tasks I was being taught. 

Hence I started doing my research on how to bridge my interests, which has led me to land the internship position at the Clean Lab here at Mediamatic. 

During my short time at MM, I was responsible in getting the Cleanlab back on its feet, ready to be running for future workshops and I tried to experiment with fermentation of kombucha and rice milk kefir.

Furthermore, in these months I had the opportunity to help out for the organization of NFD 15 ''Ears of Earth'' and with Museumnacht.
