Hello everyone!
There’s a lot I could say about myself, but let me start with the essentials:
So… who am I, really? Introverted (and perfectly comfortable with it), curious (about almost everything), and simple (very down to earth). My friends, in a convenience sample — that is, completely biased — say I’m a good listener, the kind who actually pays attention.
Despite being introverted, quite controversially, I study Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (Health of Human Communication), which I believe has significantly changed the way I communicate, the way I perceive communication, and my understanding of how I prefer people to connect with me. Yes, I have very particular preferences. I think you don't need to be an expert to recognize that communication can either bring us closer to people or push us apart, which is why I'm always striving to improve and encourage others to care about it as much as they care about their physical and mental health.
During my free time, I enjoy reading both local and foreign literature, watching documentaries, studying the philosophy of science on my own, and learning languages without rushing. Whenever possible, I set aside some time to appreciate music from different places, with different rhythms and in different languages; I believe it's a simple way to explore the world without leaving my own country.
One of the most random and enjoyable skills I’ve developed in recent years is the ability to sensitively decipher the various accents of Brazilian Portuguese. For those unfamiliar, Brazilian Portuguese is extremely variable, and I hope to expand this skill to other languages.
