Education: Austin TX
Major: Brazilian Soccer Coach (Goalkeeper) in Austin-TX; experience in Mexico, Florida, and DC

I worked in soccer schools (Fluminense CDMX; Penta Brasil CDMX; WIFIs DC) and I will put my knowledge and learning into practice with private classes. I started my soccer career playing defense when I was 8 years old in my school's coed league. Then they created a girl's league and, with my way of always throwing myself at the ball, they rightly put me in the goal. For high school I changed schools just to play in a more competitive league. I won the MIP title my senior year. I simultaneously played on a club team in my area. In college, I played with Florida Atlantic University in state tournaments and at Nova Southeastern University with a graduate school team in friendly tournaments. In my master's degree, I was the goalkeeper in a tournament and won the MVP title. I also played as a goalkeeper in a mixed tournament with Sport12 and have recently moved to Austin-TX! Read more
