About

International Trade professional with 5+ years of experience in multinational and Brazilian companies across the logistics, pet care, automotive, and alcoholic beverage industries. Currently, I work at Interbrilho, managing international trade operations, import and export processes, global logistics, supplier coordination, and market expansion initiatives for automotive and pet care products. My background includes overseeing international shipments, purchase orders, production planning, export documentation, freight coordination, and supply chain operations. Previously, I worked in the alcoholic beverage industry at one of Brazil’s leading cachaça producers, responsible for internationally recognized brands such as Velho Barreiro, Tatuzinho, and 3 Fazendas, supporting export activities and international business development. In 2026, I represented my company at Interzoo in Nuremberg, Germany, the world’s leading trade fair for the pet industry, where I conducted market research, identified business opportunities, and established relationships with international partners and distributors. I am fluent in English and advanced in Spanish, with international certifications in both languages. I also have experience delivering product training and presentations in English and Spanish for international customers and partners. My international background includes living experiences in the United States, France, and Peru, which strengthened my cross-cultural communication skills, adaptability, and global business perspective. Passionate about international business, global supply chains, and market expansion, I am always seeking opportunities to connect companies, products, and markets worldwide.
