Born and raised in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Started my career by joining Inga Engineering in 2015, assisting with soil recovering projects, which brought the interest for Geotechnical Engineering. In 2019, joined CSU in Los Angeles to study Geotechnical Engineering for my Master's Degree.
Moved to Massachusetts in 2020, when joined Geocomp as an RDP Engineer, where I still live.
