About

Brazilian born, dutch raised. I was adopted at the age of 5 months by two dutch parents. Lived in Zeeland until I was 19 years old, at which point I moved to Tilburg to start studying. I finished my bachelor degree in Business managent at Fontys Hogeschool Tilburg. After getting my degree I decided to move back to Zeeland. Here I started working as reconciler/payer and now working in Finance, which I truly enjoy. I Enjoy tackling new challenges and gathering more knowledge.
