Description

24 years old, just graduated from Materials engineering at school in Montreal, Canada! I love cooking, making music, DIY projects, art, and just about anything creative in general. I'm very curious, a hard worker and always want to learn something new. Nothing satisfies me more than a job well done!!

More details about my language interests
My mother's family is from Lisbon and I was born in Brazil so I started seriously trying to learn Portuguese a couple of years ago but need more people to help me practice!! If my hosts could speak to me in portuguese that would be the greatest help to me.

More details about your skills

During my degree I worked at a laboratory for 3 years where I built and ran experiments! This included planning, purchasing and setting up different pieces of equipment specifically to handle chemical processes. I also set up a new laboratory which included installing air lines in a new building, painting and installing cabinets, layout planning, and general equipment refurbishing. From this job I have scissor lift (sort of a mini elevator for construction workers) and forklift certification.

Asides from that I have a passion for DIY projects! I recently organized an art exhibition in a big space in which I did some renovations which included making a bar and a curved arch opening out of drywall for serving through. Again this involved designing, measuring, purchasing and cutting all of the wood for the project.

I also renovated my friend's cottage bathroom with him which included tile cutting, tiling, shower installation and general plumbing. So now I am very familiar with the process!

Additionally I am a very social person and get along with everyone.

What else ...

I mentioned it a little before but I really do LOVE making music. I play guitar and had a band in university and am always looking to learn from different musicians. I taught myself guitar to a good level but now am moving towards piano!

Also I said I liked cooking earlier but at certain stages of my life I am obsessed with it. I love smoking meats (ribs, brisket, chicken, etc.), making my own recipes and one day I hope to open my own restaurant.
