About Me

I am an international student from a city in the south of Brazil called Curitiba. I came to Kent in January 2022 due to a partnership my university, PUCPR, has with Kent State, the American Academy program, which allowed me to get my Associates degree from Kent and PUCPR while in Brazil, and then moving to Kent to pursue my Bachelor’s degree. In May 2025 I graduated from my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience, and am now pursuing a Master of Business Administration here at Kent while working as a Graduate Assistant for Education Abroad. I started working with the Education Abroad team as a student worker back in April 2022, and I’m very excited to now be their Graduate Assistant!

What I Love About Kent State

I love how internationalized Kent State is. We have students attending from all over the world, and I’ve met many amazing people from countries I knew almost nothing about, who shared their culture, food, language, and experiences with me! It is amazing the care the University has for International Students, as well as how they make all students feel at home here at KSU.

Fun Facts

A fun fact about me is I did an exchange program to Brisbane, Australia when I was 15, where I  lived with a homestay family and studied in a local High School for a full academic year. I really wish I can go back one day. My top destinations I want to visit are Japan and Italy!
