Hello! Bonjour!

I am a queer Brazilian-Canadian communications professional based in Toronto.

Currently, I am seeking freelance/contract opportunities in the film industry and event/cultural sector. Whether it's writing, producing, directing, hosting, or presenting, I've done it all.

I'm confident my skill set can enhance your next project.

"We are what we think, all that we are arises with our thoughts, with our thoughts we make our world."

Stories have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As an imaginative and curious child, I never had just one answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up. This fire continued to burn inside me, leading me down many professional paths, of which I am very proud. Today, these diverse experiences make me adaptable to many types of roles.

After earning a Bachelor's degree in Radio and Television Arts, followed by a post-graduate study in Visual Storytelling, along with diplomas in Dramatic Arts and Event Management, I embarked on my professional journey in the film industry, back in Brazil. There, I had the opportunity to explore various roles, including casting, producing, assistant directing, and directing. My involvement spanned across narrative films, documentaries, TV series, commercial spots, and branded content for renowned brands like Coca-Cola and Mattel.

In 2017, when I relocated to Tkaronto (Toronto, CA), my collaboration in the industry expanded to encompass more leadership and creative positions. This included projects such as the documentary "Bloor-Dufferin" (a TVO contest finalist), numerous commercials for the city of Brampton, and branded content for Wahl Canada. Concurrently, I honed my journalism skills by serving as a producer, writer, reporter, and TV host for a Portuguese-language newscast on Omni Television. Omni Television is a diversity channel operated by Rogers Communications and financed by the CRTC.

In 2022, I reconnected with an old passion of creating content for children. This led me to become a Waldorf Kindergarten teacher and Summer Camp Lead. During this enriching experience, I refined my storytelling and artistic skills while learning how to effectively communicate and engage with young audiences.

Recenlty, when seeking opportunities to combine both of my areas of expertise, I found myself serving as an APC and children wrangler for the second season of the TV show "The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy" on Family Junior Broadcasting.

Currently, I am open to positions where I can apply my diverse skill set. Whether it's within the film industry, exploring roles and projects that I haven't yet experienced, or expanding into related fields such as animation, theatre, storytelling, cultural events, arts galleries, content creation, or any other opportunity you believe may be suitable for me, I am eager to embrace new challenges and contribute my talents.
