Background

I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, in a bilingual Portuguese-speaking household. Growing up between cultures gave me a broad perspective on life and a strong appreciation for diverse viewpoints. These experiences shaped both my personal and professional growth.

I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain Management, concentrating in the Business of Fashion. Currently, I work full-time as an Analyst in New York City, where I focus on data analysis and process optimization.

Outside of my professional career, I’ve always had a passion for writing. While it remains a personal project, writing has allowed me to explore topics that resonate with me, such as mental health and societal issues. My first novel, The Truth Behind a Smile, was inspired by the need for a deeper conversation around toxic masculinity and men's mental health struggles in American society. After researching and refining the story, I chose to self-publish, with a portion of the proceeds supporting men's mental health initiatives.

I’m currently querying a novel set within a tight-knit immigrant community, exploring themes of loyalty, power, and the cost of change. Writing continues to be a vital creative outlet for me, balancing my analytical work with a passion for storytelling.

WORK with mE

I’m passionate about connecting with new people, listening to their stories, and sharing knowledge—whether through creative projects or in my professional work as an analyst. With experience in data-driven problem-solving, I’m always eager to collaborate with others, spread awareness on important topics, and contribute thoughtful insights to any endeavor.
