The People Behind the Movement
Aligned in purpose
EduDrive began with friendship — and a shared realization that access to education should never depend on geography. What started as conversations between friends evolved into a commitment to build something structured, responsible, but still with that same energy to dare.
Today, EduDrive is led by a team that is united by their passion and believes impact must be built to last.
Gabriel Scherer
Co-Founder / Italy
Hey everyone! I’m Gabby. Business & Geopolitics graduate, language lover (speaking five!), and a globe-trotter who’s lived in six countries. Curious, understanding, and (mostly) calm, I love diving into sports techniques, exploring new musical genres, and engaging in holistic debates.
I try to bring a warm and positive energy to the things I do and the people I meet. When I'm not perfecting my forehand or discovering enchanting melodies, you'll find me behind the camera, capturing life's moments through photography and videography.
Maria Alexandre Martins
Founding Member / Portugal
Hello everyone! I’m Maria. Originally from a small town in Portugal, I’ve had the chance to live in several countries over the years.
I’ve always loved learning from people, their cultures, stories, and traditions. My mom says my endless curiosity is both my greatest strength and my biggest flaw, and honestly, she’s probably right. Growing up between languages and places has made me adaptable, open-minded, and occasionally confused about which word belongs to which language! But all that beautiful chaos has helped me see the world through different lenses and feel at home just about anywhere.
I’m passionate about global challenges, politics, and diplomacy, and I’m always chasing new adventures (especially the unexpected ones). In between all the projects I throw myself into, I love getting creative, caring for the people I love, and lending a helping hand wherever I can. I take pride in my planning and organisational skills, nothing makes me happier than when everything is thoughtfully prepared.
Lukas Hubik
Co-Founder / Czech Republic
Hi all! I’m Luky. Raised in a small town in the Czech Republic, I dove into life headfirst, swimming competitively for 8 years before leaving my comfy home at 18 to chase my dreams abroad.
Now, having lived in six countries, I’ve embraced diverse cultures and perspectives, trying to live fully and without regrets.
I strive to make a positive impact, balancing a life filled with travel, adrenaline, and creativity. Whether I’m exploring business ventures, getting lost in music, or capturing moments through my lens, I’m a calm, open-minded soul who cherishes the little things while chasing the big dreams.
Lisa Putzer
Head of Fundraising / Italy
Hi everyone! I’m Lisa. Born and raised in Northern Italy, I’ve had the opportunity to experience many countries and cultures — but it wasn’t the places that shaped me most, it was the people. Every chapter of my life is tied to incredible human beings who’ve challenged how I see the world and inspired me to keep growing. Some of those encounters are the reason I’m now part of EduDrive (lucky me!).
After finishing my business studies, I found myself drawn toward the scientific side of things, which is why I’m now in the middle of my Bachelor’s in Technical Physics. Two very different paths, but together they reflect how my view of the world has evolved — I’ve learned to dream big, to believe that each of us can make a difference, and to act on that belief every single day.
Outside of studies, I love expressing my creativity through painting, getting lost in colours and ideas. I’m so excited to keep learning with you all on this incredible journey we call life!
