Description

I’m Brazilian, originally from a small city in the northern region of the country, right on the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Throughout my life, I’ve had the opportunity to live in different places, both in Brazil and Europe, which has given me valuable experiences and broadened my perspective.

I’m deeply passionate about agriculture and rural life and am seeking a mentor or someone who shares this enthusiasm. I take pride in hard work, especially farm work, and I’m eager to continue learning and contributing in this field.

More details about your skills

I’ve always believed that being a leader is far more effective than just being a boss. It’s not always easy—explaining, teaching, and guiding others takes effort and patience compared to simply giving orders. However, the long-term rewards of leadership are worth it, providing a sense of accomplishment that is both sustainable and deeply fulfilling.

The specific farm I directly managed had:
- Total area: ~900ha 450ha (native tropical rainforest)
- Grassland area: ~630ha
- Forest area: ~270ha 450ha
- Animals: ~700 (including bulls, cows, and calves)
- Calves born per season: ~450

In addition to leadership and management, I’ve developed a variety of practical skills essential for day-to-day farm operations:

- Riding horses, which is fundamental for managing Brazilian cattle.
- cattle vaccinations.
- Recognizing animal behavior, including identifying symptoms of illness.
- Operating tractors for different farm tasks.
- Planning and executing fence installations.
- Strategically managing fields
- Maintaining soil conditions by managing nutrients and microorganisms, ensuring the natural development of healthy pastures.


I have a farmer's mindset and a long-term perspective, always ready to commit and grow.

"When the negative stuff comes around , just let it go. It all leads to the positive as long as you keep a positive attitude. ENJOY EVERYTHING you get. That's one f the most IMPORTANT things in life is really appreciating it because we only get to do this once and it's not for a long time" - Jay Moriarity
