The grestest minds always have their fair share of lunacy.

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1987. I learned how to read and write at the age of three, mastering math operations by the age of four.

The gift god bestowed on me was both a curse and a blessing, because I learned many things, in many different subjects, making me wander aimlessly for a long time. When I finally decided what I really wanted to be, I also found the usefulness of all those things I have acquired during my life. Then, as a translator and teacher, I am able to share everything I have and also keep learning new things.

I began working as a translator in 2007, as a volunteer in Compassion International. Two years later I moved on to the corporate world and began working as a freelance translator and private teacher. After working for several major companies, I decided it was time to focus on my passion, books and entertainment.

The first book I read was The Little Prince, when I was five years old. It was a life-changing experience, even at the age of five, because after that, my being became hungry of all those stories and different worlds I visited in every book. I witnessed the revolution in France, I watched as people escaped the grasp of mother Russian during the cold war, I saw a wizard conjure fire and make it rain in a castle.

All these events were not only part of my imagination, but became part of my life, adding up the values I learned in the trip to my own experience.

Today, I teach at a private school both English and Portuguese, and work as a translator. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I am not able anymore to read as many books as I once read. But this is something I want to change, by experiencing the book while sharing the idea with the author and translating this little universe.
