Biography

(Brazil, 1983-)

I currently live in Arizona, where I am pursuing my Ph.D in Spanish and Luso-Brazilian Comparative Literature, and teaching Spanish and Portuguese. I have also worked as a translator, editor, journalist, and ESL teacher. The study of languages has always been one of my passions: along with traveling, watching foreign/independent movies, and listening to music. On my free time, I am learning how to cook and studying French.

I am currently living in Tucson, Arizona, where I am studying for my Ph.D in Spanish and Luso-Brazilian Comparative Literature. I finished my M.A. in Spanish Literature in May 2008. Also, I am teaching Portuguese 425 (Advanced Grammar and Composition) and working with Instructional Computing.

My office hours for the Fall 2009 are: Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Thursday from 12:30-1:30.

This section includes information about my work teaching English as a Foreign Language in Brazil and in Spain, a minor in Education at Roanoke College (VA), my work with Instructional Technology at ABA and more information about my work teaching Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Arizona.
