I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and came to the United States when I was young. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois, where I spent most of my life before relocating to Alabama. My experiences in different places have shaped me into someone who values family, honesty, and kindness. I have a doctorate in Engineering from the University of Illinois Chicago and have built a career as an engineer. I’m an only child and a proud dog lover with a German Shepherd who brings happiness into my life. I enjoy music, traveling, learning new things, and spending quality time with someone special. I love R&B, gospel, jazz, and classic artists. I’m looking for a loving, honest, and loyal partner who believes in communication, trust, and building a meaningful relationship. My weekends are usually about relaxing, listening to music, watching movies, enjoying simple moments, and making memories. My friends would describe me as caring, dependable, hardworking, and someone with a big heart who always tries to treat others with respect.
