Hi there. Wow. Reading my bio and all. That’s very kind.


What can I tell you? I was born and bred down south in Argentina, and moved to Ireland in 2001. I was blown away by the cold and the humidity but hey, I got over it.


In 2005 I finished my undergraduate course in Sociology, and ever since then the siren song of academia keeps tempting me, but to no avail as of yet. That’s cool though. I mean, some of my best friends are academics. I ain’t hating.


I’m a feminist and an activist, trying to work to improve things and put out some writings here and there. I’m also a trrransexual woman, and have been involved in trans activism since 2008. To see more details of the projects I’m involved in, please check the Projects! page.


I love zines, I love dancing up and down and even sideways sometimes. I host couchsurfers and sometimes I am the guilty party in some epic baking disasters.


Meet me sometime at Seomra Spraoi, baby oh baby.
