About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know what's out there!

ABOUT ME

I'm definently a curious person! Any subject in the world will catch my attention and i'm all ears to learn about it!
Love getting to know new people and every new language I try learning is simply means to be able to comunicate with more people from all around!
New cultures are always a surprise, specially when they have their own types of foods and drink. I really enjoy cooking and trying out diferent dishes!

Currently, I'm on an Exchange Student Program at the Haute Ecole de Gestion in Geneva, Switzerland but I regularly study Business Administration at the UFMG, in Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais. I grew up in the United States, IOWA, untill I was almost 8 years old. Since then I've lived in Belo Horizonte/MG, Brazil. Whent back to the U.S. in 2007/2008, this time to Connecticut, in a Work and Travel program, during my summer brake at the University. Now i'm planning on doing a exchange student program at the Haute Ecole de Gestion in Geneva, Switzerland.

I also play the Cello since I was 6 years old. Have won a couple national and state prizes and been ahead of numberous academic orchestras throughout the country. Still playing nowadays!!!

Both activities have always put me in contact with people from all over the world and beeing in contact with people from different cultures is the best life experience ever!!!
