Yep! That's me
I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nope, I can’t dance samba, and I haven’t played football in ages, but both music and football are definitely part of my identity, so I don’t stray that far from the stereotype.
Early days
Until high school, I attended a Montessori school. Looking back, I can clearly see how it taught me to value people’s different approaches to life, their unique learning paths, and instilled in me a great empathy and care for others.
In my childhood and early teenage years, sports like swimming, football and tennis played a crucial role in shaping my character and discipline.
Later on
During the first years of my adulthood, I immersed myself in an experience that has positively impacted me to this day.
In 2010, at the age of 19, I moved to Sydney, Australia, with one of my best friends. Six months quickly turned into ten, and after returning home, my desire to explore more of the world grew a lot.
A couple of years later, I returned to Australia for a second stint, this time for 2.5 years. During that period, I continued developing my career and investing in my studies, returning home in 2018 way more prepared to face the professional and personal challenges ahead.
Recent years
Since then, I have lived and worked in São Paulo, Brazil, and Madrid, Spain. I have recently been on a long 6 months trip through Southeast Asia while documenting my journey through photography. Scroll down ↓ to check some of my favorite moments in the last couple of months.

1. Arranger: By nature, I volunteer to do things rather than wait to be asked to assume more duties.
Because of my strengths, I function very well as a member of a group or task force. Contributing my talents, skills, and knowledge to the team gives me great pleasure. I tend to be less attracted to projects on which I am isolated from people and expected to work alone.
I have a natural ability to coordinate people and resources for maximum effectiveness. My creative flexibility in complex situations leads to greater efficiency.

2. Discipline: Instinctively, I may feel more comfortable starting my day by assigning a level of importance or urgency to each task on my list. Having a well-sequenced plan sometimes allows me to move quickly into action.
I need organization, order and precision. My controlled planning and routines increase efficiency and bring predictability and structure to turmoil.

3. Futuristic: Instinctively, sometimes I give thought to what I could do in the coming weeks, months, years, or decades. Simply considering what I might do better may motivate me to excel at certain tasks.
My powerful anticipation and detailed visualization of a better future can turn aspirations into reality. My vision of tomorrow can inspire and push others to new heights.
4. Self-Assurance: Driven by my talents, I might describe the good life as taking the dare, walking to the edge, running toward the unknown, or working high in the air without a net to stop my fall. Perhaps I enjoy the rush of adrenalin that accompanies risky deeds or decisions.
I trust my instincts, so I forge ahead confidently, even on risky paths. Because of my certainty, persuasiveness and ability to make decisions easily, I could lead the way for others.
5. Developer: Instinctively, I may tune in to the emotions or needs of certain individuals. My intuitive insights tell me if a person needs to be cheered up, offered support, or given approval. Occasionally this gift of mine helps specific types of people grow personally or professionally.
I see the raw potential in people and even small signs of progress as I actively invest in their development. My encouragement helps others learn, grow and improve.
