About me
As an immigrant from Brazil, my journey has been dedicated to empowering individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Over the past five years, I've delved into mental health care and recruitment. However, it was a transformative moment in a 'Try Coding' class at the Turing School of Software & Design that revealed my true passion — Software Engineering.
The undeniable excitement and fulfillment from that class lingered with me. The very next day at work, I eagerly shared the code I wrote with my coworkers. Even though it was just words on a screen, that excitement clarified my path — I needed to take a leap of faith to turn my passion into a fulfilling career.
Join me on this dynamic journey as I merge Health & Wellness with Software Development, shaping a more inclusive and supportive future. Together, let's create positive change in people's lives and contribute to a brighter, more empowered world through the art of coding.
