Personal Projects
Both inside and outside of university, I am passionate about creating and cultivating projects in my life. Here are some of them:
USP Debate
From 2018 to 2020 I participated in the Debate Team of my home university, the University of São Paulo.
Formed by members from all across campus, we shared our opinions and engaged in discussions using the British Parliament Model. We also conducted courses on oratory skills at educational centers across Sao Paulo and organized events such as interstate tournaments. In 2018 I was also part of the logistics team that organized the first Sao Paulo-Rio tournament, and in 2020 I won the first international championship of debates in the portuguese language (CIDDUP) - novice cathegory.
French and English Classes
I got my first job when I was 18 years-old, fresh out of high-school and recently graduated from a language center. Having still the contact of my teacher, he proposed that I started giving classes, which I did. At the school I went through a training in teaching methodology of six months, and what was just supposed to be 'a gig' became a passion for teaching that have lasted the last 10 years.
Since 2016 I focus solely in private students, but I've taught at the Alliance Française of Sao Paulo and at the language center of the Law School of Sao Paulo.

Volunteer Work - Art Project "Pitanga"
In 2017, together with a friend, we created the Pitanga Arte project, initially to publicize the art pieces we were creating - mainly using embroidery techniques.
By chance, we came across a shelter for LGBT+ women in the northern part of the city of São Paulo and developed workshops and lectures there to raise funds for the vulnerable women and promote their creations.
Analog Photography Project "Bergamotas"
Purely for pleasure, I started publishing the pictures I took with my analog cameras and posting them on an instagram account named 'Bergamotas'. I write also publish some short texts on the same page.
