I can write and speak English, Portuguese and German as a proficient user (C2), as well as French as an advanced user (C1). I have very good passive skills of Italian and Spanish (B2). I'm currently learning isiZulu. I have started learning Chinese and Russian and plan to continue one day...

I have lived, studied and worked in Curitiba (2001-2005) and Florianópolis (2005-2007), both in Brazil, in Vienna, Austria (2007-2022) and in Johannesburg, South Africa (2022). I have also spent some time in Paris, France, twice (in 2006 and 2007), learning French and teaching English and Portuguese. I have been a visiting researcher in Belgium (K.U.Leuven - 2009), Brazil (Universidade Federal do Paraná and Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - 2010), Poland (Uniwersytet Jagielloński - 2016) and England (University of East Anglia - 2019).
