Selected Writings
BioI was born in Brazil, grew up in Texas, and fell in love with journalism in Missouri while working a mindless data entry job during undergraduate school. To pass the time, I listened to the entire archive of This American Life, and I was hooked. I loved how it gave voice to ordinary people—their dreams, fears, hopes, and passions. After graduating with a studio art degree, I moved to New York to study at NYU’s Cultural Reporting and Criticism program. Since then, I’ve written about art, history, photography, science, technology, housing, and more for publications including WIRED, Dwell, and Texas Monthly. But while I consider myself a generalist, I especially like telling stories about people and their environment: how the world around us shapes who we are.
