About
I am a resilient and curious student from Rocinha, Brazil, who transformed adversity into motivation. Growing up amid violence and instability taught me strength and perseverance. Despite academic challenges, I developed a passion for logic and science, which led me to pursue a future in either Forensic Science or Biomedical Science. An early internship in social assistance expanded my perspective and deepened my commitment to making a meaningful impact. Now, I am focused on building a career in forensic investigation, driven by a desire to bring truth and justice to light.
