ABOUT ME

Hello Csers! I am a brasileira-americana, born in Brazil, raised in the United States, now back in Brazil. My permanent address says Belo Horizonte, MG but I am currently living in Rio de Janeiro. I am a sort of Mineira from Miami.

You will find me at art galleries, museums or at the beach. Random things I love are Bjork, performance, art, documentary films, vegetarian food, the color turquoise, yoga, dancing and meeting new people.

I taught English for just over 10 years. Meanwhile, I working for a women's health NGO, running social projects during some 8 years -then I left. Also did a few years of nursing and midwifery school. Now I am an assistant producer at a art & music production company here in Rio. I also teach art workshops for girls and women.

Since I am new to the city, there's still lots to see and I want to experience it all while I'm here. I love Rio.

I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish.

PHILOSOPHY

love & gratitude always
be, breathe, love, heal, inspire
