I started my career in Journalism in 2013, still as a student, as a writer on the VAVEL Brasil portal. I completed my degree at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in 2017. The following year, I took on the position of editor-in-chief of VAVEL. Since 2019, I have been a reporter for the newspaper O Município, in Brusque, the second largest news portal by audience in the state. I work mainly covering politics, but also in general, sports, among other areas. In just over three years working at the newspaper O Município, I was recognized by three state journalism awards. In 2022, I won the Sebrae and Fiesc awards, which are considered the most important in the state of Santa Catarina. In 2021, I won first regional and second state place in the Fapesc Journalism in CTI – Science, Technology and Innovation award. Since the beginning of 2023, I have taken over as editor of the Brazilian version of the Bola Amarela portal, a reference in tennis coverage in Portugal and Brazil.
