Finance background, analytics work.
I spent nearly four years as a financial advisor before moving into analytics, so my work sits where data, finance, and decision-making meet.

About me
How I got here.
I was born and raised in Brazil. After four years as a financial advisor, I found myself increasingly drawn to the analytical side of the profession, from regression modeling to client returns and overall financial health, and that pull is what led me to pursue my higher education in the United States.
I earned my bachelor’s at Rollins College in Orlando and then my MBA in Financial Analytics & Modeling at UNC Charlotte. There I worked as a graduate research assistant, building data pipelines and supporting research for the chair of the Department of Marketing, which gave me the chance to apply my data cleaning, transformation, and analytics skills to real-world deliverables.
Since then, I’ve kept building projects around questions I found interesting enough to dig into. I’m most drawn to analyst roles at innovative companies working at the frontier of technology.
Off the clockI love playing tennis. I have a backhand like Federer’s, but that’s where our similarities stop.
