Daiana Contini

Student Reporter / Photographer

Hi! I’m Daiana Contini, 24 and on the last semester of my Master’s degree in Business and Development Studies. Because of the scope of my Master program, I decided to spend some months in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to conduct fieldwork. At the same time, I’ll be doing an internship at a community advocacy NGO called Catalytic Communities. My time in Brazil will be full of work, but also a lot of sunshine, smiles and unpronounceable fruits. The first time I saw Rio de Janeiro, about two years ago, I was struck by its beauty. I promised myself I would come back to stay for a little while. I’m happy to share with you – through my words and through my lens – how that promise is turning out.
