More About Me

I'm passionate about

My main passion is technology and the way it can change society. Besides, I am passionate about music and water.

An idea worth spreading

Integration of the triple propeller (government, university and society), appropriating all the technology research developed by the university, applying to companies needs, being able to utilize their infrastructure, with government support. Involving this 3 entities, it´s possible to create several work configurations, , always focused in regional development.

Talk to me about

Innovative ideas, simple and with good implementation potential, which can change the society where we live.

People don't know that I'm good at

Innovative processes in education (social networks)

My TED Story

I had the opportunity to participate at the TEDxPortoAlegre, where I got to know it and fell in love with the event proposal. While attending to the presentations, I kept imagining the contributing it could bring to Canoas community development, and also the capability of ULBRA (institution where I work) in gathering people with “TED style”, in order to organize such an event.
