About me

Hi! My name is Jessica but everyone calls me Inti. I am a photographer and graphic designer who loves nature, art, bikes and science. I currently live at a permacultural project near Villa Serrana, in Lavalleja, Uruguay. I have been vegan for almost 5 years and I am very interested in environmental care, sustainability and ecology. I really like to travel and I want to know more countries and their cultures. At the moment I know Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru.

Preferred location

I want to visit every country on South America!

Skills

I am a very curious person who is interested in many subjects. I have studied Biology, Veterinary Medicine, Art and graphic design. I have academic and work experiences in all these areas, including volunteering with endangered animals (Darwin's toad Melanophriniscus montevidensis, and green turtle Chelonia mydas), carrying out research and conservation tasks, as well as my own small amphibian conservation project in the urban coast of the capital of my country. I also voluntarily worked on livestock farms doing veterinary assistance tasks, and at a permacultural project where I currently live. On my artistic side, I am very passionate about photography and have worked on several freelance projects and with friends. I have been working as a visual communication analyst for 2 years, and I have traveled several times to work at my company's headquarters in Brazil.
