As a communication strategist and writer, I believe the best stories come from real life and a willingness to keep learning. I’m someone who takes random courses for fun, gets lost in obscure articles, and ends up in deep conversations with strangers at the grocery store. My curiosity keeps my creativity going and helps me look at things from all different angles, which comes in handy when you’re trying to explain complex stuff in a simple, engaging way.
I moved to Canada from Brazil in 2015 looking for more safety and calm, and an escape from the kind of heat that feels like being slow-roasted. After seven years in Vancouver and two in Montreal, we’re now in Ottawa, happily raising three kids and trying to keep up with the noise level. My husband and I spend our days balancing work, parenting, and the kind of delightful chaos that gives me endless ideas for the children’s stories I write on the side.
This journey has taught me to adapt quickly, keep an open and positive mind, and think on my feet. Finding my way around new cities, managing parenting chaos, and planning communication strategies in record time all helped me develop a strong sense of resourcefulness. It’s also why storytelling comes naturally to me — it’s how I’ve always made sense of the world, both professionally and at home with my kids.
These days, life is a mix of work calls, kid chaos, late-night writing sessions, and the quiet moments I steal with a notebook. I’m still figuring it all out, one project and one curious kid question at a time, but writing is the thread that connects everything. It’s how I learn, how I teach, and how I stay grounded in the middle of all this beautiful, everyday noise.
