ABOUT ME

In 2003 I was born in Brazil, in Ribeirão Preto.

From a young age, I loved all things DIY and hands-on.

Traveling, learning new languages, and getting to know new countries have also always been a big influence on my life.

I also have always loved math, and I was always part of the Math Club at my school.

From a young age, I started learning English and Spanish. Later on, I also took German.

Considering all these passions, and in search of new opportunities, in 2021 I decided to go to college in the U.S.

I started college as a Biomedical Engineering student, and I even got to gain lab experience and do an internship at a pharmaceutical company.

Although I liked the time spent in my Biomedical Engineering classes, I fell in love with machines, 3D printing, and manufacturing, so I decided to switch my major to Mechanical Engineering.

I then joined ASME at USF and participated in various projects.

I was also their Technical Development Director for a year, organizing workshops to help students develop practical skills.

I then had the chance to intern at Nucor, gaining valuable knowledge.

Now, my expected graduation date is May 2026, and I am excited to discover what opportunities the future holds...
