My father is a businessman he started to work early, not being able to finish his studies. My mother, a teacher, studied at night, after I was born. I’m the only daughter.
At 17 years of age I started at the university, studying Industrial Chemistry in the day and Business Administration at night. At the age of 21, I finished both universities
and looked for a job. I started in an audit company in the training area. I then participated in the company’s first trainee program and I was invited to support in recruitment.
From then on, I fell in love with the area. At 23 years old I did post-graduation in HR Management, at 25 I specialized in Higher Education Methodology. I got married at 25,
had a daughter at 27, I changed jobs when she was only 1 month old. I worked as a head-hunter for almost 9 years, in big companies like KPMG. I faced many barriers in
an essentially male market. I returned from a trip and resigned after my daughter started to call the nanny her mother. Later I worked for a company named O Boticário,
while I was pregnant with my second son at the age of 33. When I came back from my maternity leave, I was fired in a restructuring process. But I did not give up.
At the age of 34, I left my hometown - Curitiba (1.7 million inhabitants) and went to São Paulo (12 million inhabitants), leaving family and friends behind, in search of growth
and development opportunities for my children’s future. I arrived without meeting many people, I grew up professionally in companies like Telefônica Group, Capgemini, SONDA.
I gave employability and career classes at the university, took many specialization courses, took leadership positions, got involved in the start-up of an IT office in Brasilia,
where I stayed for almost 1 year traveling weekly, leaving my children in SP. I got divorced at 40 years old, adopted a dog. I turned around, focused on work and my children, the reason of my life.
I took on the challenge of leading the Talent Acquisition area at Wipro in late 2019, managing a team of 15 people in order to speed up hiring and grow the local operation.
My son was in high school and my daughter was studying psychology at the university. My parents taught me to be strong from a very young age, so every challenge I found
in my career, every negative response motivated me to move forward. I raise my children the same way. When my children were little, I was shuffling between work and family.
It was hard. Today they are adults and understand that everything I did was for them. In my free time, I like going to the cinema, theatre, I love staying at home watching series and I enjoy cooking for my children on weekends.
