Connecting Health, Research, Human Care and Connection
Welcome to Pangea
One World of Research, Nutrition, and Care
Hi, I’m Jamile Marchi
A Researcher with Purpose
Guided by a strong sense of altruism, I am passionate about contributing to meaningful causes and committed to making a positive impact through my work. My journey includes multiple international volunteering experiences, which have enriched my perspective and strengthened my dedication to serving others.
As a researcher with a PhD and many years of academic experience, I have worked across various fields, universities, and countries. This path has allowed me to combine scientific rigor with cultural sensitivity, always aiming to transform evidence into knowledge that benefits people and communities
Someone looking for life with purpose
I am a multilingual and multicultural human being, originally from Salvador–Bahia, Brazil, where I learned at an early age to celebrate diversity in colours, religions, beliefs, accents, gastronomy, and cultures. These vibrant beginnings sparked my love for people and connection, and perhaps life was just preparing me for what would come next.
It was twenty years ago when I left my hometown in search of adventure and new challenges. Since then, I have lived in nine countries and ten cities — each one leaving sweet memories and shaping who I am today. After years of wandering, I am now trying to settle my gypsy soul into the peaceful rhythm of Switzerland — a country that offers safety, nature, and landscapes that invite reflection. This life journey has taught me to thrive in diverse environments and collaborate with joy and openness across cultures. It has also made me deeply empathetic — a listener, an observer, and a connector of worlds.
I have spent many years working in academic research, where I obtained a PhD in maternal health and contributed to international projects across various universities and disciplines. Research trained my analytical mind, but it also gave me something more profound: the ability to look at people and communities through both scientific rigour and human sensitivity.
Then, the birth of my son changed everything. Along with motherhood came a new instinct — a desire to nurture, to understand, and to heal. My professional path took pauses, but never my soul. Inside, there was always a quiet determination to keep growing and to find a way to align purpose with compassion — to bridge the scientific world with the real world.
I remain grateful for what research taught me, and I am not ready to close that chapter — instead, I am weaving it into a broader story: one that unites science, humanity, and healing. Research for the real world — not only behind a computer or through papers.
Travelling has been both my passion and my therapy, a journey outward and inward. Despite being an introvert — a Brazilian introvert (and, according to my husband, an extrovert if I were Swedish 
) — I find joy in meeting people, listening to their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs. Each encounter has deepened my empathy and strengthened my belief in the power of human connection.
Over the years, I have also engaged in international volunteering, which has further rooted my conviction that we are here to contribute to something larger than ourselves. And that’s how Pangea was born — an idea that emerged from a lifelong exploration of the coldness of science, the warmth of motherhood, and my wandering soul.
It’s a double-sided vision: that we must heal the whole — body and soul — and that true healing happens through connection with ourselves and with one another. I believe that we can be whole, and we can also be one — just like Pangea, centuries ago. No one truly heals alone, even if healing can sometimes feel like a solitary journey.
We heal through connection — through us, and through each other.
