About 

I am a Brazilian Architect, Owner of a Bachelor from Centro Universitário – FAESA in 2020 with extensive experience in commercial architecture focused on retail, but with a thirst for discovering and developing myself in other areas as well.

The main areas that fascinate me in architecture are Interior Design, Applied Sustainability, Neuroarchitecture and of course Commercial Architecture, being the segment in which I have more know-how thanks to the practical knowledge I gained working for four years at FG - Equipamentos, a company with 37 years of experience in retail and which enabled me to specialize in projects for bakeries, supermarkets, butcher shops etc.

I have a very motivated and visionary profile, I like the possibility of exchanging knowledge that teamwork can provide and I have an extremely resilient personality that allows me to adapt to different situations and challenges. I like being in multicultural environments that allow me to grow professionally.

I love studying English, getting involved in social work and preserving the environment.
