My Professional and Personal Journey: Challenges and Achievements

Hello everyone!

Today, I am very excited to share a bit of my professional and personal journey. Over the years, I have had various experiences, challenges, and learnings that have shaped who I am today.

Professional Experience: Product Management and Agile Methodologies

As a Product Manager, I have been playing a key role in Vision Management, Roadmap, and Product Backlog Management. My day-to-day involves Backlog Mapping, Continuous Refinement and Updates, Sprint Backlog Development, and ongoing User Stories Refinement. Managing Impediments, engaging with Stakeholders, and Planning Releases/MVPs are crucial aspects that are part of my daily routine.

I graduated in marketing from Mackenzie University and have always sought constant improvement through specific courses, including Product Management, Agile Expert, Scrum, Project Management, and Leadership, establishing a solid foundation to tackle challenges in the product and technology universe.

I had a volunteer experience at Global ORG, an NGO that connects social projects, companies, and volunteers worldwide, where I worked as a Product Manager, leading multidisciplinary teams, managing products, and projects.

Personal Life: Balancing Work and Happiness

Outside of the professional environment, I am blessed with love and companionship. I have a little dog named Mel that was adopted and now part of our family. I have been with my husband for 15 years, and we have been married for 2 years, building together a life full of companionship and achieving our dreams.

The presence and unconditional support of my family were essential. Today, I clearly see that my success is largely the result of the love and encouragement I received from my family. They celebrated my victories but also stood by me in challenging times.

I am immensely grateful to my family and Alê for supporting me!

Hobbies and exercise: Finding Balance for a Fulfilling Life

My leisure time is as important as my professional life. I enjoy staying at home, enjoying series and video games. Additionally, I find balance in physical activities like weightlifting, pilates, and dancing, taking care of my body and mind.

Furthermore, I am passionate about fashion, a fascinating universe that adds color and style to my life. Personal expression through fashion is an important part of my daily life.

This is a brief of my journey so far. I hope you feel inspired to pursue your dreams, seek challenges, and find joy in the little things in life.

See you soon!
