Experience
I started my journey in 2010 when I relocated from a small town in Brazil called Rio Claro to São Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world. At the age of 17, I pursued a degree in Marketing. When I turned 23, I was awarded a full-ride scholarship to study Computer Science in the United States, marking a significant transition in my career toward technology.
Since then, I have been fortunate to receive multiple scholarships to attend conferences worldwide, spanning from the US to Europe. In recognition of my work in promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as well as my efforts to encourage more women to pursue careers in technology, I have also received various awards.
Driven by my passion for assisting others, I have been mentoring women and young professionals from underrepresented groups in their journey into the world of technology ever since I completed my Master's Degree in Computer Science.
