I was born in New York to Brazilian parents and spent my first twenty years moving between the US and Brazil, as well as spending 8 years in the Grand Cayman Islands.

After college, I moved to Nicaragua to volunteer as a photography and reading instructor in the isolated and rural archipelago of Solentiname. I managed to organize a series of exhibits of pictures taken in the workshops by local kids and teens and, in 2014, publish a photography book with some of their best images.

I enjoy challenging conversations and would much prefer a laid back evening with a few people to an alcohol-fueled night at a club.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Live in the archipelago of Solentiname, Nicaragua for a year and a half "teaching" photography to the local youth. But, best of all, keeping my promise that I would someday have their pictures published in a book, which they would all receive upon publication. Check out the book's site for yourself: www.miradasdesolentiname.com.
