About

I'm a freshman majoring in Information Technology at the University of South Florida, with a strong interest in data, problem-solving, and technology-driven solutions. Before starting my degree, I worked as an English teacher and founded my own business — developing communication, leadership, and operational skills I now bring into my IT career.

Originally from Brazil, I thrive in multicultural environments where collaboration and innovation are key. I hold the USF International Student Scholarship and am actively seeking hands-on experience in IT and real-world projects.
