About me

For 7 years I have dedicated my career in Communications to generating a positive socio-environmental impact. I started as an intern at the Ayrton Senna Institute, one of Brazil's largest education nonprofits, and for 4 years I led communications and marketing strategy at Quintessa, promoting innovation, ESG, sustainability, and impact businesses. I have strong experience with youth engagement as the co-founder of IYD Brasil, the world's largest movement for UN International Youth Day. Today, I am dedicated to working autonomously.

​

I am currently an incoming MPA student at Columbia SIPA, class of '26.

​

I believe in the power of Communication to transform society. My mission is to assist organizations in engaging people and amplifying impactful messages and solutions.
