About Me

Translator, Management in Education, Kindergarten Teacher, also Psychology studies at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina; mother, spouse, and despite the fact that I've been living in Toronto for many years, I'm an active and conscious Argentinian citizen as well. To persue this venture, I've created a group on Facebook to spread the voice and make the people know about the significance of our participation and compromise in promoting the "Cataratas del Iguazu" as being one of the "7 Wonders of Nature".
I invited everyone to join us! Now we have more than 1000 members and souls willing to participate and make the Iguazu Falls, "Cataratas del Iguazu", one of the "7 Wonders of Nature"! And we did! The Iguazu Falls are officially among the New Seven Wonders of Nature!

In regards to the TED community, I could say that TED is a powerful communication tool in motivating dialogue, interaction and socialization. TED brings together the most captivating thinkers and innovative projects. In addition, TED stimulate creative insight in surprising ways in our daily life. It also gives everyone the opportunity to give a hand, raise their voice and interact in many different ways. I am deeply glad of being part of the TED community.

More About Me

I'm passionate about

Psychology, learning, and teaching.

An idea worth spreading

"Each person's map of the world is as unique as their thumbprint. There are no two people alike...no two people who understand the same sentence the same way...So in dealing with people try not to fit them to your concept of what they should be." - Milton Erickson

People don't know that I'm good at

I love singing! (but many know that...)

  • A comment on Talk: Antonio Damasio: The quest to understand consciousness

    May 10 2012: Even though Damasio’s vision is in itself not entirely novel--its major elements can be discerned in Aristotle, in Nietzsche, the publication of Descartes' Error, challenged traditional ideas about the connection between emotions and rationality, and with his theory of consciousness, set a valuable point to attempt to explain mind, reason, emotion and self in biological terms.

  • A comment on Conversation: TED Speaker Julian Treasure: What would a conscious listening world be like â and how do we get there?

    Oct 11 2011: I think that the relationship between technology and listening, and the lack of listening, is that we lose the essential elements of connection between humans by using those devices constantly. We lose the personal contact: face-to-face, eye contact, heart-to-heart connection, breath, and tones. The connection is rational and everything happens quickly. A conscious listening means that two people are rational and emotional connected. It means self-examination and self-awareness.
    It happens when you are connected with someone “in real”, when you take the time and space for both in favor for the connection without rational purpose. Of course, it’s worth it!
    I can’t remember where I read this, but it was illuminating, “To listen is to have integrity and to be conscious of the integrity of others, of being present to the “global” field of awareness".
