About
I’m a 20-year-old Brazilian student-athlete who has played volleyball since I was 14. I recently transitioned to beach volleyball, a sport I fell in love with during a summer in Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for a year and a half, pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a minor in Cyber Security while competing in collegiate beach volleyball. My first year of college was also my first time ever flying on a plane and leaving Brazil.
