Background In 2011 I entered the university, the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in the civil engineering major. In the year 2013, after a selection process, I had the opportunity to travel to Canada, to study at the University of Toronto, one of the most reputable universities in the world. That was achieved through the Science without Borders program, a scholarship program funded by the Brazilian government. There, I had three months of intensive English classes before I entered the University. At the university I had classes on the civil engineering department and also in business for a year. And that was the most incredible experience I have ever had, both within and outside the university. A short period after I arrived back in Brazil, I was hired in my first internship program at a consultancy and project development company with engineering expertise. There, I was part of a team responsible for the development of engineering projects, especially in irrigation projects. As an intern I had the opportunity to work on different aspects of the projects we had. I was responsible for report writing, doing technical drawings, leading with budget, analysis, and many other activities that was part of the projects. My boss was the Project Management at the time, so I had the opportunity to accompany different stages. After the end of my internship program, I was hired and reallocated at the firm because my former team was being dismissed due to lack of demand. Currently, I’m working in the management of a water supply construction. At my new position I’m responsible for accompanying the execution of the construction as well as the measurement of the progress of the work. I’m also responsible for changes in budget to adequate the contract.

Background

In 2011 I entered a university, the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco as a civil engineering major.
In the year 2013, after a selection process, I had the opportunity to travel to Canada, to study at the University of Toronto, one of the most reputable universities in the world. That was achieved through the Science Without Borders* program, a scholarship program funded by the Brazilian government. There, I had three months of intensive English classes before I entered the University. At the university I had classes in the civil engineering department and also in business for a year. And that was the most incredible experience I have ever had, both within and outside the university.
A short period after I arrived back in Brazil, I was hired in my first internship program at a consultancy and project development company with engineering expertise. There, I was part of a team responsible for the development of engineering projects, especially in irrigation projects. As an intern I had the opportunity to work on different aspects of the projects we had. I was responsible for report writing, doing technical drawings, working on the budget, analysis, and many other activities that were part of the projects. My boss was the Project Manager at the time, so I had the opportunity to become familiar with different stages of the project.
After the end of my internship program, I was hired and reallocated at the firm because my former team was being dismissed due to lack of demand. Currently, I’m working in the management of a water supply construction project. At my new position I’m responsible for accompanying the execution of the construction as well as the measurement of the progress of the work.*** I’m also responsible for changes in budget to make sure it is adequate for the contract.
