Before coming to Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary, I had the privilege of working in diplomacy and founding a company dedicated to exchange programs for students and adults abroad. I have studied law, economics, and political science. I have deepened my studies in philosophy and, now as a seminarian, am completing my theology studies. Additionally, I have pursued master's degrees in Pastoral Theology and Thanatology.

I speak six languages. Among them, Portuguese is the one that fascinates me the most. I have played the cello since the age of seven. Another of my great passions is photography, particularly landscape photography. As a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Boston, I feel truly fulfilled. This seminary has welcomed me unconditionally from day one. Here, the environment is familiar and close-knit. I am convinced that this is the place where my vocation can fully flourish.
