Bio
I’m an international screenwriter, born and raised in Brazil. But I often say my grasp of the English language is even stronger than my native Portuguese, since I attended an American school from kindergarten. Right now, while finishing a B.A. in Digital Journalism & Media from Penn State, I’m also focusing on polishing my screenplay, ‘No Matter The Cost’.
