I was born in New York City, and raised in New Jersey by a pair of Brazilian artists. Growing up in an artistic environment has allowed me to garner passions for visual arts, performing arts, music, dance, and the art of capoeira. My enthusiasm and outgoing personality has made it possible for me to share my passions through performances all over the world, as well as by teaching. I have diversified my talents by designing for musicians, the theater, art galleries, and a production company.
