Experience

Growing up in a bicultural family has fueled my interest in the field of social and racial studies and also in learning about different cultures. My first languages were Guarani and Spanish. I learned Portuguese when I enrolled in primary school in Brazil.  After obtained a Bachelor in Business Administration, I embarked on a journey to explore different parts of the world. My experience abroad allowed me to learning about different cultures and gave me a different perspective about African/Latin culture. My experience abroad inspired me to seek a Masters in Latin American Studies.
