I began my career as a tax lawyer in a reputable law firm in Espirito Santo. However, I have realized that a significant part of my passion was in resolving conflicts. When I commenced my LLM at UCL, I have discovered the importance of ADR in a market different from Brazil and saw the possibility to reach new territories in 2016. Therefore, I opened my professional spectrum and was invited to join the Mediated Indemnization Program (Programa de Indenização Mediada - PIM). There, I could mediate in one of the three largest mediation programmes in the globe ever, and since then I have been studying mediation and promoting the method in Brazil.
