01 — About me

Paediatric care meets infection control.

I trained as a nurse at Faculdades Pequeno Príncipe in Curitiba, Brazil, and cared for children of all ages at Hospital Pequeno Príncipe, the largest paediatric hospital complex in Latin America.

Moving into infection control, I led active surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), helped implement prevention protocols and delivered evidence-based training to multidisciplinary teams.

After moving to London, I spent two years at an international organisation, which sharpened my communication, adaptability and professional English. I'm now completing an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (expected March 2027).
