During my studies abroad, I discovered a passion for travels and photography. While short videos are trendier than photography today, I enjoy slowing time to capture a moment frozen in frame — allowing the viewer to imagine stories and explore every detail of a picture.

My areas of expertise
INTERNATIONAL
In an ultra-connected world where borders no longer exist, thinking internationally means opening up to the world, valuing differences and expanding business opportunities.
Strategic vision
Because taking action without a strategic plan defined in advance is like hitting the road without knowing where to go and hoping to arrive at the right place.
MANAGEMENT
Allowing all talents to express themselves to their full potential. It is by valuing each individual's strengths that we achieve results that combine fulfillment and performance.

F.A.Q
In one word: Creativity.
In a few words: I would say I don’t have just one profession, but rather a diverse skill set that enables me to take a holistic view and solve complex problems through creativity.
In 2025, I decided to put my health first.
After leaving my permanent role at Oresys, I traveled solo across Asia (Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia) to gain perspective and capture moments through photography.
Upon returning, I transformed my daily life by prioritizing fitness and nutrition — achieving better-managed diabetes, a leaner, stronger physique, and a renewed mindset.
I have T1 diabetes — and my superpower is knowing my body better than anyone. Listening to myself means making the right decisions at the right time.
Probably Brazil — a country I have embraced, and that has embraced me in return. A true long-distance love story. Such is life in the 21st century…
