Nationality: Brazilian
Programme: Master’s in Spatial Planning
Previous Education: Architecture and Urban Planning bachelor's in Brazil
Why did I choose Radboud University: I really wanted to go somewhere in the Netherlands, and Radboud’s Spatial Planning programme really got my attention. Also, Because of the urban planning focused programme, linked to current global issues from climate change to urban mobility. It was closely aligned with what I wanted.
What am I looking forward to the most regarding coming to Nijmegen: Besides studying, definitely trying some of the 80 different sports they have on campus.
A fun fact about myself: I’m the worst driver you will ever meet, I even crashed the car during one of my driving lessons (brace yourselves, now I have a bike). I once cycled 916 km around to the Netherlands (and Belgium). My first like on Instagram was from a nationwide known humorist, Sergio Malandro, and I still don't know how it happened. My father has an alligator at his farm (true story!)
My favourite motto is: "Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” (Winston Churchill).
