Fernanda was born and brought up in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her youth was informed by the Spirituality of Unity, as she was actively engaged in the Focolare Movement, an ecclesial lay movement. Fernanda became a consecrated member and has lived in the Focolare communities in the US since 2011, working mostly with children and teens. She worked several years in the field of social work in Argentina but then discovered a passion for education while in the United States. For the past seven years, Fernanda has been a Montessori, first in Dallas, Texas, and then in Atlanta since 2019. She enjoys many outdoor activities like hiking, and loves to use her bike as a means of transportation.
