- I graduated from Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa - Language Arts (Portuguese and English). 
Post-graduate in Foreign Modern Languages from Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná.
- My favorite subject to teach is Language Arts.
- My favorite teacher was Maristela, my 4th grade teacher.
- I love reading, and one of my favorite books as a kid was "O Menino Maluquinho". My favorite authors are Ernest Hemingway and Neil Gaiman.
- One of the best things about teaching is when you can see that the kids are naturally using what they have learned. It's awesome!
- I love travelling, swimming, going to the movies, playing games and having fun with my family.
-  My favorite quote is "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -Albert Einstein.

- I graduated from Utah Tech University in 2022 at the age of 35!
- My favorite subjects to teach are Language Arts and Science.
- I loved all my teachers growing up, but I especially loved Ms. Ringen. She brought out the best in all her students and I really felt like she “saw” me.
- I could never pick a favorite book, because I have so many that I love! Right now I am into fantasy, women’s lit, and psychology books! I believe reading can open our minds and hearts and I enjoy helping students find what they love to read.
- I love swimming and being in the sunshine. My favorite things to do are to hang out with my family and friends and create fun memories and conversations. I also love music and going to concerts and plays.
- One if my favorite quotes is, “Grow with the flow.” It reminds me to keep growing, but also to stop and enjoy everything around me.
- I am so lucky to be a 4th Grade teacher at Majestic Fields Elementary!
