What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine OAB tax/corporate expertise with investor relations and regulatory communications—using AI-assisted workflow automation to boost compliance, speed, and the quality of financial research and documentation.

I’m a bilingual attorney and corporate communications specialist with over 15 years of experience serving major listed Brazilian corporations and international financial institutions. Brazilian Bar-certified with a focus on Brazilian tax and corporate law, I deliver investor relations materials, regulatory communications, equity and fixed-income research, and earnings documentation in both English and Portuguese at the highest professional level.

I also bring an advanced AI-assisted content workflows practice, designing and deploying agentic pipelines for newsletter generation, automated email sequences, and book production to improve output capacity and turnaround speed. With early career training at Trench, Rossi e Watanabe (Baker McKenzie Brazil) and my journalism background, I combine legal rigour, investigative research/editing, and compliance-focused communications, including conciliation and mediation experience.
