Do you speak any other languages?

I do! Brazilian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Portuguese was actually my very first language. Other than my family members, I don't have too many people nearby to maintain my fluency, so I'm always looking for some Portuguese-speaking friends.

Who is your favorite television character?

100% Don Draper from Mad Men. I'd like to believe that his charming, yet controversial character nailed what a day in the life of a 1960s NYC ad man was like.

What are you passionate about personally?

Hosting and attending food and alcohol pairing events! I love researching and experimenting with beer, wine, and spirit pairings that enhance the flavors of various cuisines.

If you owned a yacht, what would you call it?

Made Ya Look!

What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

Football! GO EAGLES. Outside of those glorious (and stressful) 17 weeks, I love grabbing some to-go food and visiting local CT wineries and breweries. A Sunday well-spent brings a week of content.
