Clara Hanek

São Paulo '27

Journalism student at the University of São Paulo, Brazil.

I'm the youngest of three girls, a pisces sun with cancer moon (yes, very emotional) and a textbook INFP. That being said, my family was quite surprised by my choice of major. I was considered extremely shy and introverted – which has changed a bit since I started uni. My logic in choosing journalism was: I read an obscene amount of books per year, I love writing and I'm a huge fangirl, why wouldn't I be a journalist?

It's obvious with all I've previously stated that I gravitate a lot towards the cultural side of journalism. Immensely attracted to the humanities, I'm interested in everything involving society, literature, music, fashion and the entertainment industry in general. My hobbies are a bit old lady-ish: I love staying home on the weekends with a good book, puzzle, lego set, or crochet pattern - although I occasionally party with friends, and you'll always find me queuing (or at the barricade) for a concert.
