Olá! After graduating high school in my home country Brazil, I moved to Orlando to pursue my bachelor's degree in print/digital journalism and minor in cinema studies at the University of Central Florida. I have a strong interest in feature writing and also in covering sports. I graduated in May 2022 with Summa Cum Laude honors. In the past, I was the editor-in-chief for NSM Today, UCF's journalism program student publication.
Beyond college, I assisted the Orlando Sentinel in their 2020 Presidential Election coverage and was an intern reporter for The Community Paper. I was also a writing contributor for the Orlando Sentinel during the fall 2021 semester and a digital intern for WKMG-TV News 6, CBS TV's local affiliate in Orlando, in spring 2022. Most recently, I served as a writing contributor for Sports Illustrated's Inside The Knights and a news desk editorial writer for ClutchPoints.
I am set to return to UCF in fall 2023 as I pursue a master's degree in communication.
This portfolio showcases my work as a journalist. Thank you for taking the time to review my reporting skills and my passion for writing.
