Why Economics...

I chose Economics because I was curious about why some countries grow faster than others, why my country had periods of rapid growth and other periods of slow growth, and why there is so much inequality.  In addition, this curiosity deepened when I discovered the wide range of topics that Economics covers. Therefore, from there, I became passionate about the field.

Interesting fact about me...

An interesting fact about me is that I have played basketball my entire life, since I was 10 years old. I am also a big supporter of Fortaleza Esporte Clube, the best Brazilian soccer team.
