She created the Smart City Talks channel by her background in Media and International educational experience associated to the lack of Smart City content addressed for young generation. By interviews from MIT professors, Colombia's Architects to Brazilian Housing Activists she inspires brazilian young urbans that they can create their own projects to redesign their cities.
