Personal Profile

I am seeking a position in a law firm or equivalent in order to gain more experience and knowledge regarding the North American legal system (common law).

I am currently studying for the Bar Exam; and I also plan on earning a J.D. or M.B.A as soon as I can. I have a passion for learning, I love challenges, and helping clients and coworkers to succeed. In addition to Law I also enjoy, pilates, yoga, cycling, skiing, diving, reading, music, languages, traveling and cooking. I look forward to being a successful lawyer here in the United States just as I earned it in Brazil.
