Educación
I have a Bachelor degree in Tourism with a MBA in Tourism and Hospitality and a Graduate School in Ecotourism.
During 15 years of my life I was a Professor in Brazil where the main subject was Tourism and Hospitality, Environment Protection, Administration and Sales, Workplace safety, First Aids.
As a photographer I have 16 years of experience in Landscape and Underwater photography. My passion for the water and the environment made me want to learn more about it, so, in 2009, I became a Cave Diver and, in 2010, a Divemaster and an Advanced EANx Diver. I spent years diving in lakes, rivers and oceans. Along with my love for the water I also have a great passion for Landscape Photography.
Being in touch with the nature and traveling around the world has always been my passion since I was a child and being able to combine these two passions and explore the world of the photography with it, makes me fell fulfilled.

Experiencia de viaje
I started traveling very early when I was a kid fishing with my dad. I got to know many different areas in Brazil.
After I completed my Bachelor of Tourism, I started to explore Brazil even more. I went to the North of the country (Recife) where I took the Divemaster and Technical Diver course. Always with a camera in my hands.
In the southeastern region of Brazil I did my Cave Diver Courses.
In 2016 I traveled to Costa Rica to photograph and also have fun staying there for ten days.
In April 2017 I went to live in Maui, Hawaii, United States. There I started working as a professional photographer getting the green card (Permanent Resident Alien). but in April because the Covid 19 pandemic I had to return to Brazil where I am a living today.
When I lived in the United States, I visited the different islands of Hawaii and also traveled to Arizona and Oregon. At that time I was always photographing, having fun and meeting new people and new places.
