About me

I am an enthusiast of meeting people and genuinely learning about them. I feel deeply connected to my work and the areas I study. Additionally, I have a passion for many hobbies, and I believe that a person's interests reveal a great deal about them, such as their musical preferences. My Portuguese background may have influenced this perspective, allowing me to appreciate the richness of diverse cultures and view people's interests and backgrounds as a true wellspring of resources.

I favor the use of diverse interests (hobbies) as living metaphors to connect with clients, establishing a creative and natural rapport.
