In 2002, she attended the “Corso Regolare di Lingua e Cultura Italiana – 5º Grado (Livello Superiore)” at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and completed additional professional development courses at schools such as Torre di Babele in Rome and Campus Magnolie in Castelraimondo. Since 2010, she has regularly participated in the ABPI Congresses (Associação Brasileira de Professores de Italiano).
Currently, she teaches exclusively at her own school, “Italia a portata di mano”, where, in addition to her regular classes, she organizes events related to Italian language and culture together with fellow teachers.
In 1994, during her first visit to Italy, she studied at the Eurocentro in Florence and fell so deeply in love with the Italian language and culture that she decided never to stop studying them or dedicating herself to their teaching and promotion. Since then, she has returned to Italy many times, both to study and to travel and reconnect with the friends she made there.
