Originally from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, I was raised in a legal environment, watching my father serve as a Federal Judge. That early exposure shaped my understanding of justice and led me to pursue a career in law. During law school at Universidade Católica do Salvador, I clerked for both Federal and State Court Judges, gaining firsthand experience in how courts operate at the highest levels.
After earning my law degree in 2010, I moved to the United States and later obtained my LL.M. in Foreign Legal Studies from the University of Houston. I am licensed to practice law in Texas and New York and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
I have experience across civil litigation, commercial litigation, business disputes, compliance, and immigration law, with a focus on complex, high-stakes matters. As of June 2026, I have tried 27 cases in both civil and immigration courts—and I thrive in the courtroom.
