Dream Big, Princess
Collaboration with Disney, where I directed a short-documentary about one of my heroes, the astronomer María Teresa Ruiz.
The #DreamBigPrincess video series, produced and directed by young women from the United Nations Foundation’s Girl Up initiative, shared the stories of 20 trailblazing women across technology, entertainment, medicine, law, sports, arts, science, fashion and politics to show the next generation what’s possible if you dream big.
During this campaign, I had the opportunity to interview María Teresa Ruiz, who was the first female astronomer to graduate from the University of Chile, which later also became my own alma mater.
