After she graduated from high school, Dos Santos went on to study electrical engineering at King's College in London.

Her hard work in school and college sparked many great opportunities for her. Dos Santos maintains her dedication to continuous self-improvement and will stop at nothing to reach her goal.

In addition to getting a quality education, Dos Santos held many management positions over the years.
