A BIT ABOUT ME

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

MOST DEFINING MOMENT

I clearly remember a time in my life when I felt lonely. I was praying at the time in church and I felt someone hugging me at time and it felt so good and comforting, but when I looked back, there was no one behind me. I learned then how God was caring for me in that time.

In 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 other ways I sometimes I did not see it coming. He is the BEST and to him goes all my Glory and honour.

WHY I DO IT

God never failed me even when I failed myself. He always provided and 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.
