Writing

I think many of us dream of becoming a writer. To sit by a window with a beautiful landscape outside, typing away with a warm drink by our side. Growing up, I always carried a pen and paper as writing became my escape, especially during slow afternoons in cafés with my aunt and grandmother.

When I was 11, I wrote my first complete fantasy story, O Mundo da Imaginação — a world built entirely from my imagination.

What I do now

These days, I work in website management and SEO. Writing is still at the core of everything I do, from technical documentation to clarity, structure, and the strategy behind content that gets discovered.

Freelance writing

I try my chances at freelancing. I'm available for research, blog posts, or creative work.

SEO & content strategy

I discovered SEO at university, where I led a team to victory in an SEO Cup, ranking our blog first on Google for a given keyword. As team leader, I wrote the blog posts, managed social media, and kept the content strategy consistent.

In another project, I wrote the script and produced a promotional video for a smart toilet campaign, building a narrative that could actually hold attention.

That early experience led me to work in an e-commerce agency and later in roles at gaming, publish, and event companies. I learned quickly that SEO isn’t just about rankings, it’s also about making sure great writing gets found.
