I am 23 years old and I study social communication in Brazil. I am in Portugal doing a 6 month exchange. Well... I’m not confident enough to talk about myself. I'm still discovering what I am and what I want to be. But I know a few things: I make a lot of jokes to make people comfortable when they're shy. I break the ice with an unexpected hug. My friends say I'm a gentle person. I try to be the best of me always. I'm a good person and I love meeting different people and making great friends for life. In from Brazil and my inglesh is not very good, but my spanish is cool.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that makes me feel alive. That is, all. Music is life. And my favorite movie is Forrest Gump.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2017 I started a research project that aims to teach girls ages 14 to 18 to defend themselves against online gender violence, such as cyberbullying. I went into schools and met many girls with painful stories and I was able to help them with what little we studied to cope with those pains. This is definitely the most amazing thing for me. I learned how to program applications to teach them how to create their own and change the sexist culture that distances girls and women from technology.

Countries I’ve Lived In
