I was born in 1987 in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, and entrepreneurship has always been a part of who I am. My grandfather, a local pioneer in the transportation and hospitality industries, was a significant influence in my life. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Business Administration from PUC Campinas and began my career at IBM. After two years, I decided to shift my focus to my family, embracing a new chapter in my life.
In 2013, my family and I moved to the United States when my husband received a job opportunity at Nestlé. During that time, I focused on motherhood while adapting to life in a new country. Eventually, I felt ready to return to the workforce. I started working at Banana Republic Factory, where I quickly worked my way up to a management position in 2019.
My time at Banana Republic reignited my lifelong dream of owning my own business. After dedicating myself to training, research, and careful planning, I turned that dream into reality in March 2022 with the opening of Tre Cuori Gelateria. This venture is not just the fulfillment of a personal goal but the start of a new chapter where I can apply my passion for baking, knowledge, and experience.
Looking back, my journey has been about navigating big life transitions with determination and grace, all while balancing my professional ambitions with my family life.
