For the last four years I have dedicated myself exclusively to working in the Brazilian third sector (non-profit organizations), with a focus on animal protection. As part of my work, I was able to guarantee the operations of an NGO with more than 20 years of existence in Brazil, increasing its donations by 520%. Organizing processes, structuring administrative, advisory and fiscal board to ensure the organization's sustainable growth. And thanks to the support of an incredible team, maximizing positive results in the lives of animals, reducing the negative impacts of human actions on the environment and bringing about a more humane way of living.
