About Me

Oh, we're talking about me now. If you've made it this far, you probably know that I'm a Brazilian-American writer based in Washington, DC. Here's some stuff you might not know:

​

As a freelancer, I've provided brand development and naming, copywriting, content marketing, and editing services to businesses such as Walmart, Humane, Gusto, Vox, and many others.

​

My short stories have been published in Arcturus Magazine, Capsule Stories, and Alternating Current Press's The Coil, where I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. I write literary fiction with themes of romantic disconnect and the meaningfulness of art. For several years, I was the writing assistant to Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Nilo Cruz, and still provide editing services to Mr. Cruz and other creative writers. 

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Fine Arts at the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. ​I'm the Managing Editor of The Hopkins Review and the founder/producer/host of The Hopkins Review Podcast. 

​

I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts from Harvard Extension School.

​

I'm also a singer-songwriter on the Shorewave Records roster, and my recordings are available on any streaming service.
