About me
I was born in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
That's where I spent twenty something years of my life, surrounded by a wonderful family and a great circle of friends.
I graduated from College (BS in Computer Science) in 1999 and moved to São Paulo to pursue my Masters and as well to look for better work opportunities.
Life over there was good; however, my personality always strives for more, so a year later I accepted a job offer as a Consultant/Programmer in San Diego (California). That was the first time I left my country and I confess it was exciting and challenging at the same time.
In 2002 I went back to school and did my Masters in Business Administration (MBA), although I continued working as a Software Engineer/Analyst.
Living in the US allowed me to open my mind for many cultural differences and also gave me opportunities to travel more abroad.
In 2009 I engaged in a new adventure and went to live in England for about 3 months. It was interesting to once again get out of the comfort zone by trying something different, meeting new people and being part of another culture.
Travelling adds so much to my life experiences and it awakens more and more my desire to discover what is out there to be explored.
I am constantly trying to learn something new and being curious about things that draw my interest.
As far as hobbies, I enjoy writing poetry, drawing, reading books, playing guitar, taking photos, video editing...
I see life with a perspective that it is full of challenges, but I believe that no matter what we do, there is always room for growth, to improve ourselves and to help others.
Cheers!
