I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

One day I decided to leave family, friends and my own culture to embark on a journey on my own to search for other lights in Australia – the place I call home since 2003.

Based in Melbourne since 2008. I work with recreational projects and Portuguese language education for children and adults. I also enjoy photographing people and collaborating with photo shoots.

People, children, culture and images are my life inspirations.
