How I Found My True Calling in Australia

I was born and raised in Brazil, where my love for communication led me to study journalism and later pursue an MBA in marketing. My early career saw me writing for newspapers, reporting on radio, and appearing on TV, primarily covering political news in Brazil’s capital. I later transitioned into corporate strategy roles, blending my media and marketing skills in a dynamic business environment.

Nearly two decades ago, I made the life-altering decision to move to Australia to learn English, driven by dreams of working in international journalism. I was drawn by the country’s familiar warmth, lifestyle, and, unexpectedly, by love. It wasn’t easy at first. Arriving with limited English, I faced the frustrations of feeling trapped by language barriers despite having so much to offer professionally. To truly integrate, I distanced myself from the Brazilian community, determined to immerse myself fully in Australian culture.

Over time, my path took an unexpected turn. I pursued a qualification in interior design, fusing my creative instincts, marketing knowledge, and business acumen into a new career. Today, I run a successful interior design business while balancing the roles of wife, mother to two boys, and active community member.
