I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but when I was 14 my parents decided to immigrate to Japan due to Brazil's economy downturn. Since then I have a passion about Languages and I love everything about Japan.
I got married in 2001 with the best husband in the whole world. He is Brazilian, but served a LDS mission in Kobe, Japan. We have 2 kids, Kendi who is 8 and Kalena who is 4.
I finished my Masters degree at BYU in 2007 and I love to work teaching Japanese at American Fork High School. I've been teaching there since 2006.
私はブラジルのサンパウロ州で生まれ、14歳の時にブラジルの経済の困難から逃れるために家族と共に日本へ移住することになりました。それから、日本のすべてを愛するようになりました。
私は2000年にすばらしい人に出会って2001年に結婚しました。彼もブラジル人なんですが、日本の神戸で伝道をしました。
二人の子供に恵まれました。健治は8歳で、カレナは4歳です。
2007年、アメリカのブリガム・ヤング大学で修士号を取りました。それから、ユタ州にあるアメリカン・フォーク高校で2006年から日本語を教えています。この仕事が大好きです!
