My Story
From a challenging start in Brazil to finding my footing in the United States, my life has been a testament to the power of resilience, family, and embracing the unexpected. Every challenge has become a source of strength, shaping the person and creator I am today.
A New Beginning
My life's trajectory changed forever when I was adopted from Brazil into a loving family in the U.S. They gave me a foundation of love and support that became my anchor. While adjusting to a new culture, I also learned to navigate the world with disabilities. These early experiences weren't easy, but they instilled in me a deep sense of determination that I carry with me to this day.
A Path of Discovery
My educational journey was a dynamic mix of public and private schooling. In private school, I benefited from tailored support and smaller classes that helped me thrive academically. Returning to public school for my high school years was a chance to build on that foundation, reconnect with my community, and develop a newfound confidence through academics and sports.
Forging the Future
That resilience carried me to college, where I pursued my passion for technology. My path has been defined by the love of my family, the support of my friends, and the challenges that taught me to persevere. It is this journey that fuels my passion to tell stories and build things that matter, hopefully inspiring others to embrace their own journey with hope and determination.
Writing, for me, is more than a passion: it’s a calling born from my own journey. Living with a disability has shaped my perspective, teaching me that our greatest challenges are often the catalysts for our most profound strengths. I found my voice in the written word, a powerful tool to explore the universal themes of resilience, hope, and the unbreakable human spirit.
Crafting Characters That Matter
My mission is to create stories that resonate with authenticity and purpose. I build worlds where characters grapple with real-world struggles but refuse to be defined by them. You will find heroes with disabilities who are ambitious, complex, and driven, not by their limitations, but by their dreams. Through their journeys, I aim to shatter outdated stereotypes and build bridges of empathy, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse tapestry of human experience.
An Invitation to the Reader
My ultimate goal is to empower you. Within these pages, I hope you find a piece of your own story, a sense of belonging, and the validation that your journey matters. These stories are a testament to the fact that our circumstances do not write our destiny. They are an invitation to see the hero within yourself.
Every word I write is a commitment to this vision. It is an honor to share my journey, and an even greater one to inspire you to embrace yours. Because I believe that within every one of us lies the power to become the author of an incredible life.
