My Purpose -
Finances have always intrigued me. Growing up in different countries, I was exposed to a variety of cultures and perspectives, each shaping the way people viewed and used money. Observing these differences, especially the contrasting relationships people have with money, deepened my interest. Some worked hard for every cent, while others made their money work for them. This stark contrast highlighted a critical realization: money should be a tool to achieve life’s goals, not the ultimate goal itself.
As I delved further into the financial world, a couple of things became clear. First, despite living in many countries, I noticed that financial education wasn’t something readily taught. Those who were curious enough had to seek it out themselves. And second, I recognized how powerful it could be to help someone shift their mindset about money, from being something to chase, to something that works for them.
This inspired me to become someone who could guide others through the often-intimidating world of finances. I wanted to be a resource, someone who made financial planning less daunting, and left people feeling empowered, informed, and confident in their financial future.
So far, this journey has been everything I hoped for and more. Knowing that one conversation can make a tangible impact on someone's life is incredibly rewarding. And I look forward to showing you the difference that well-informed financial decisions can make
About me -
I was born and raised in Brazil, and, in good Brazilian fashion, I’ve had a ball stuck to my feet for as long as I can remember. My love for soccer is what first opened my eyes to the importance of teamwork and grit. When I was 12, we moved to Saudi Arabia where I went to an American International School with people from all corners of the world. Being in such a multicultural environment really taught me how to adapt, stay open-minded, and appreciate different perspectives.
Then, at 15, I moved to Ferndale, Washington. I was juggling school and soccer, playing for Ferndale High School and FC Rangers, and those years really taught me resilience, leadership, and the satisfaction that comes from hard work and collaboration. I like to think that those lessons still shape how I approach both life and my career today.
Family has always been at the center of everything I do; they truly mean the world to me. My parents live in Qatar now, and my sister lives in Spain, which gives me endless inspiration and a great excuse to travel. No matter where we are, they remind me that success is only meaningful when it’s shared with the people you care about.
Beyond the Office -
Outside of finance, I’ve always believed in staying active and creative. Whether it’s playing soccer, painting, or simply being active, I find balance and inspiration in every pursuit. These activities teach me patience, focus, and discipline, qualities that translate directly into how I approach both life and financial planning.
When I’m not working or training, I love spending time with my family, exploring the Pacific Northwest, or discovering new cultures and cuisines. To me, life is about connection with people, passions, and purpose.
