Person on my field that I admire

The person I most admire from my field is Lelya Troncoso Pérez. I met her when she took the subject of "Critical Gender Perspectives and Feminist Theories 2016" in which I was her student.
There is not much information on the internet about her biography. I could only find out about her academic life.
She graduated as a psychologist from the "University of Valparaiso", a master's degree in social psychology from the "Arcis University" and the "Autonomous University of Barcelona" and a Master of Science in Gender Studies from the University of Lund, Sweden.
He is Assistant Coordinator of Postgraduate Psychology Department at University of Chile. And external evaluator of articles for the magazine "Society and Equity" of the University of Chile.
she has presented in congresses, formed part of research and published articles mainly, on gender and sexuality.
She has also been research assistant for the following Fondecyt Projects:
- "Construction of generational stories about our recent past (1970-1990) in the setting of four places of memory in Santiago" (Department of Psychology, University of Chile).
- "Places of memory as scenarios of construction of generational stories about our recent past" (University of Chile).
Her line of research to follow in the Doctorate of Psychology of the University of Chile is: social psychology (critical), studies of gender / feminisms, studies of collective memory.
I admire her because I think she's a good person. In her classes I was able to perceive that she does not feel superior to her students as many teachers do. And most importantly, she is a feminist.
