About me
Brazilian living in the USA for
the past 3 years. I have
chosen to settle in this
beautiful and sunny estate
and renovate my career in
the American job market.
In my free time, I enjoy
spending time with family
and friends and at the
beach. I am “crazy” about
animals (specially dogs and
cats), having been
volunteered in an animal
shelter for 2 years, in Brazil.
As a professional, I see
myself as flexible, hard-
worker, dedicate, very
friendly and passionate
about my work.
