Born in Brazil...dreamed about being an actress when I was little, that way I could be a physician, veterinarian, marine biologist, lawyer and chef!

Moved around quite a bit! From Brazil to Venezuela to the United States back to Brazil and now back to the U.S.! Each, I carry wonderful learning experiences and will always treasure the people that came into my life.

Currently I have a Bachelors degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the Federal University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and just finished a Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics as well in Miami at Florida International University (FIU). During the years I studied at FIU, I had the amazing opportunity to be a Teacher's Assistant and was fortunate to teach for 2 years a Nutrition lab. Currently I work at the Student Health Services at the University as a Wellness Assistant.

Also, I started a NUTRITION BLOG earlier this year where I go by the Nutrinut! The link to it is below if you wish to check it out...let me know what you think :)
