“If it’s time to fight, I’ll go! If it’s time to be there, I’m in! Because in our lives, what really matters is love… Together, we’ll go! Reignite the stars, we will!” (Zé Vicente – O que vale é o amor)

Born in the outskirts of São Paulo, I now live in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul. My 18-year career with the Pastoral da Juventude (PJ) shaped me as a Catholic, a human and youth rights activist, and an advocate for the ‘Our Common Home’ project.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in History and later earned a degree in Marketing Technology, both of which complement my experiences in popular and pastoral spaces. I supported the national and state campaign coordination for Pastoral da Juventude and worked as a community educator at CEAP-RS, where I managed an educational project on social oversight within the SUS (Brazil’s public health system).

As a Campaign Advisor at Casa Galileia, I develop communication strategies for the religious community. My goal is to create narratives that revive a sense of belonging, strengthen connections, and inspire social transformation rooted in Christian life. I am passionate about nonviolent communication—approaches that address modern challenges with active listening, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to justice and democracy. My work is guided by faith in people, the attentive listening cultivated in community life, and the dedication of someone who knows that meaningful changes require words, presence, and hope.
