I am originally from Brazil, but Australia has been my home now for over two decades. I am married to Keith, and we have three wonderful children. I have been attending Riverlife since 2020 and I am excited to be part of the staff team. I love to feel useful, to connect with people and make new friends.

I clearly remember a time in my life when I felt lonely. I was praying in church, and I felt someone hugging me, and it felt so good and comforting. However, when I looked back there was no one behind me. I learned then how God was caring for me in that time. During many other events in my life, including grief, God has always showed ways of caring for me and my family - either through His words, people, places, and ways I did not see coming. He is the BEST and to Him goes all glory and honour.

God never failed me even when I failed myself. He always provided, always made a way no matter what. I love to be a blessing to other people and being able to share the goodness of God.
