  • Description

    I am an artist and educator born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. I was a Waldorf student, I love traveling and getting to know new cultures. In 2017, while volunteering in an anthroposophical community in Scotland, I had the opportunity to go on vacation and get to know Athens and I fell in love, so I want to come back with more time now to explore the city.
    I currently live in Germany, where I am also a citizen. I love connecting with people, having a deep conversation but also going out for a light stroll like walking and exploring the neighborhood. I love hiking and being in touch with nature. For me, visiting museums, going to concerts and visiting cultural spaces in general is very important.
    I believe that human relationships are fundamental because it is through exchanges, differences and coexistence that we learn and become more tolerant and flexible people. I also love children and animals.
    I'm currently doing a Gap Semester and I'm very excited about meeting new people and places =D

    More details about my language interests
    Learning other languages is an interest of mine. After a semester in High School in the USA I have taught English as a second language to children. My mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, making it possible to teach it as well. My German level is B2 on the certificate, but my level has improved a lot after workings in Sales in German but it's a language I wouldn't risk teaching yet. Conversation is no problem =)

  • More details about your skills

    I am an attentive, curious and creative person. For two years I worked as an art and English teacher for children aged 3 to 14. Before that, I worked in the Visual Arts team at a cultural center in São Paulo, setting up exhibitions.
    I also volunteered at an international anthroposophical community in Aberdeen, Scotland, looking after young adults with special needs (mainly with autism). In recent years I have shared flats with other people.
    I am a communicative, caring and flexible person. I've also been an intern in different exhibition spaces, giving guided tours of art exhibitions for Schools or individuals. I enjoy family environments and doing household chores are not a problem. I also have some experience with Bioconstruction and Permaculture (Pau a pique, adobe and Hiperadobe construction) and have participated in a few projects in Brazil =)
    For the last year and a half, I've worked in an office in Leipzig, Germany dealing directly with the customers, planning and selling specialized trips to Brazil. My driver license is unfortunately not valid in Europe, but I can bike.
