ABOUT ME
I am an award-winning photographer/videographer from Fortaleza, Brazil. I moved to Los Angeles in 2014, where I got my M.A. in Media for Social Justice. Living in Los Angeles, I developed my skills in documentary production, which is the field that I work in now. I love media, and I love even more to produce media for social change.
