“To inspire, educate, and connect individuals through compelling storytelling, cultural exploration, and a celebration of the human experience, fostering a global community that values diversity, creativity, and shared humanity.”
Educator | Author | Certified Christian Life Coach
Educator, author, Christian life coach, and international speaker — passionate about inspiring and transforming lives through faith, education, and the power of storytelling. Born in Brazil and raised in the United States, my journey blends cultural richness with over 17 years of global experience in teaching, leadership, and personal growth.
With academic backgrounds in History, Bilingual Education, and Educational Leadership, I’m currently pursuing a Doctorate in Christian Leadership with a focus on Digital Discipleship. Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of impacting thousands of students, educators, and leaders across the world — always with a touch of humor, deep purpose, and a heart centered on God.
Whether in the classroom or on stage, my mission is to share wisdom, ignite purpose, and strengthen faith.
I am the proud author of The Boy From Brazil, a memoir that captures my unique life experiences. This book, available in both English and Portuguese, offers readers a glimpse into my personal journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Stay tuned for the release of my upcoming book, My Collection of Poems, coming this March 2026.
As a Certified Christian Life Coach, I offer faith-centered guidance to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, deepen their relationship with God, and unlock their full spiritual potential. Each session is a space for clarity, purpose, and personal growth rooted in biblical principles.
My workshops focus on bridging educational gaps and strengthening community connections. By exploring innovative strategies and addressing the challenges faced by diverse learners, each session aims to cultivate inclusive, understanding, and supportive educational environments.
Through dynamic, story-rich presentations, I speak at schools, churches, and conferences to inspire, educate, and empower. With a blend of humor, authenticity, and insight, my talks connect deeply with audiences and spark meaningful transformation.

As a leader, I stand with the courage to illuminate the path I’ve traversed. It is easy to shine a spotlight on current triumphs, yet there is a deeper, richer narrative in unraveling the steps that brought us here. In every conversation about change, I plant seeds of love, nurturing each dialogue with humility and compassion.
Onstage, I transform vulnerability into strength, sharing lessons gleaned from the mosaic of my own brokenness. Through the alchemy of humor and real-life stories, I invite others to see that within our fractures lies the map to our healing.
