Hi! I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and have also lived in the United States, Spain, England and Canada. I've been inspired by a wide array of authors, including Clarice Lispector, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mia Couto, Noah Gordon and Albert Camus, as well as musicians like Paco de Lucia and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
I currently reside in the Washington, D.C., area.
