Furthermore, I have professional experience as a reporter and assistant editor, with great ability to speak and write in Portuguese. I also have some professional experience in radio, as a reporter and announcer, and in television, as a producer and commentator. I speak advanced English and intermediate German and Spanish. I was a member of Comprova between 2018 and 2020, a national coalition of Brazil's largest media outlets to fight disinformation.
