Late in my childhood, living with my grandparents in the countryside of Ceará, I led a rural life which touched me deeply and influenced me for the rest of my life.

This originated yet another dialectic, between the urban and the rural which, since then, has always accompanied me.

To me, having moved to Barra Alegre was an existential fulfillment: I had found my place. Faraway, and yet so close, immersed in contemporary times, yet interspersed by the ever-sopresent past. A profound love for this natural environment grew in my heart: Pedra Aguda, the Macabu Mountain Range, the waters, the forests and the living creatures which inhabit them. In my daily life, I fraternize with my neighbors and, together, we strive to build a sustainable life in Barra Alegre.

Being an active member of both The Barra Alegre Association of Residents and Farmers and the Town Council allows me the opportunity to share my expertise and experiences and to fight for the sustainable development of our community.
