Grammar
In primary school she developed her disposition to help others, above all to who need support in Biology and English classes.
In her secondary school we can highlight the existence of a movement called “MAGIS“MAGIS”, which has as a motto “always more for the other”, and in a personal way the phrase is translated as “give the best version of yourself”. Manuela, as many professors described her, is always trying to give her best, either academically to personally.
As a child, she played football in her school team and previously she was part of a swimming team in a sporting club, and because of that past experiences, she sometimes describes herself (in a humorous manner), as a “frustrated sportsperson”.
Regarding her studies in art and music, Manuela studied flute for four years at a national public institution called at that time "Virgilio Scarabelli Alberti". She also participated in the "Departmental Choir of Montevideo", in the last years of school of music.
Nowadays she dreams of meeting her contemporary references, among which stand out: Byung-Chul Han, Malala Yousafzai, Ida Vitale, and Sylvia Earle. The latter was kind enough to answer an email in 2020 since Manuela sent her a question that the oceanographer classified as a "thoughtful question".
