Personal

Besides work, I enjoy reading self-development and dystopian books (my favorite is Brave New World), watching movies (podcast ep. on one of my favorite movies), and exercising. Going to concerts is my favorite hobby - playlist with bands I saw since I moved to the USA. I enjoy writing about experiences, travel itineraries, and pt-br learnings from being a grad student. I use Medium and have published at Revelo.

I speak Portuguese (native), English (inevitable), Spanish (by osmosis from my Peruvian dad), and some French (in-progress).

Projects I am passionated about:
