I am currently a Master of International Business candidate at The Fletcher School, where been diving into business digitalization, cybersecurity and international strategy. Prior to the program, I spent a few years split between the art auction market and private equity consulting. 

This is by no means my first encounter with Tufts. Originally from Brazil, I transferred to Tufts as a junior from University of Sao Paulo and joined Sherman’s last EPIIC class, 2015-2016 “The Future of Europe.” The class was completely out of my comfort zone and sparked my curiosity for international history, diplomacy and ethics in different societies. My best friends at Tufts were EPIIC students as well and, like the class, shaped my understanding of the world.

I continue to strive for positive impact in the world through business. I was recently awarded a FASPE Fellowship to study contemporary and professional business ethics in the context of the Holocaust, and hope to find new ways to collaborate with peers to foster financial wellbeing across the globe.
