About
I was born and lived in Brazil for the first 18 years of my life. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I received the Latin American Scholarship. As a first year, I am looking for research and internship opportunities to gain experience and understand how biotechnology research can be applied to the development of innovative biomedical products.
Outside of academic life, I am passionate about sports, especially soccer and volleyball. I enjoy listening to music, playing guitar, drawing, reading, and spending time with my friends and family. I also love to travel and collect new experiences in different places.
