Lea Veras

Sao Carlos, Brazil

I am a person who fights for the causes I believe in. I am pragmatic whilst being flexible, energetic, and full of ideas and positivity. I genuinely like to interact with people – and learn from them. I am also a computational chemist and a non-formal education researcher whose work focus on helping others to become better communicators. I am passionate about WYSE because it strengthened my leadership skills. In particular, WYSE helped me to be in touch with other leaders and facilitated the paths that I needed to achieve my personal and professional goals: to use my knowledge and commitment to develop meaningful work with tangible social impact.
