Introduction

Over 25 years! That's how long I've been playing around with art!


I'm 34 years old and I consider myself to be pretty easygoing, cheerful and nice to everyone. While I do primarily focus on my voiceover career nowadays, I'm also open to opportunities in other areas - illustration, concept art and animation. My current goal however is to be an audiobook narrator, either in Portuguese or English (or both!)

Feel free to reach out!
