As a multidisciplinary artist, I’ve journeyed through acting, spiritualism, and drumming. My work with Grupo Teatral Parlendas taught me art as activism, while Umbanda shaped my spiritual practice. As a devotional drummer, I’ve explored spirituality through music and dance. As an educator, I’ve used theater and percussion to inspire and teach others about arts and cultural heritage.
