I possess extensive teaching experience in Portuguese across esteemed educational institutions in Brasilia, spanning Secondary School, High School, and Pre-University civilian and military classes. In recent years, my focus has been on imparting knowledge in grammar, literature, and essay writing through the implementation of active methodologies. Additionally, I have undertaken the role of Essay Coordinator, overseeing and guiding students in their essay-writing endeavours. During my leisure time, I enjoy engaging in outdoor exercise, exploring the scenic waterfalls around Brasilia, and cherishing moments with my family and dogs. My upbringing was immersed in a household where music held a perpetual presence, given my father's profession as a musician. Drawing inspiration from this musical environment, I find joy in singing and have a keen interest in rekindling my piano skills. Literature, beyond being the focal point of my academic pursuits and professional endeavours, remains a constant companion during my moments of relaxation. My interests gravitate towards topics within the realms of arts and humanities. Among my favourite authors are Lygia Fagundes Telles, Machado de Assis, and Guimarães Rosa. These pursuits contribute to a well-rounded and fulfilling personal life, complementing my dedication to academic and professional pursuits.
