Ever since I can remember, I've been a reader and a curious person, enthusiastic to understand how things work and behave. Because of that, I've become passionately devoted to innovation and novelty. As an academic, I concluded an M.B.A. in Innovation and Competitiveness (SENAC-MG); a Master of Engineering in Industrial Project Engineering (PUC-MG); and an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (UFMG). With over eight years of professional experience in innovation, research, patents, copyrights, and development of the most diverse enterprises, this extensive involvement with intellectual property has sharpened my strategic thinking and project management expertise. This diverse education allowed me to deepen my interest beyond numbers, and it also provoked me to create an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving, combining innovation, education, communication, investigation, and experimentation. Now, I am excited to learn and expand my interests at Indiana University.
