Coming to WPI was a dream come true for me. As a former FIRST Tech Challenge competitor (shout out to team #17792), robotics has been a huge part of my life, and WPI felt like the perfect place to take that passion further through a hands-on Robotics Engineering degree.

As an international student from Brazil, I’ve also loved the global community on campus. I didn’t realize how many friends I’d make from all over the world, and that diversity has become one of my favorite parts of WPI.

If you have questions about joining WPI, robotics, or what it’s like to leave home and start college in a new country, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to reach out!

I’m the Events Chair on BRASA’s Executive Board. 

Every year, we host some of the biggest and most fun events on campus, celebrating Brazilian culture with great music, community, and plenty of free Brazilian food.

You should definitely come check it out!
