From Engineering to Real Estate: A Strategic Approach to Finding Your Perfect Home

For 15 years, I thrived in the fast-paced world of the automotive industry, working as a Global Program Manager for a German company. My background in engineering gave me the skills to analyze complex situations, solve problems efficiently, and manage projects with precision. But beyond the numbers and logistics, my true passion has always been helping people find the best solutions—whether in business or in life. That’s what led me to real estate.


A New Chapter in the U.S.

Originally from Brazil, I moved to the United States 10 years ago and have spent the past three years calling Hickory home. Over time, I’ve come to appreciate the charm of this community—the friendly people, the vibrant local businesses, and the sense of belonging that makes this area special. As someone who has experienced the process of relocating and adapting to a new environment, I understand the challenges and emotions that come with finding the right home. That’s why I’m dedicated to making that journey as smooth and rewarding as possible for my clients.



Why Real Estate?

You might wonder—why transition from engineering to real estate? The answer is simple: both fields require careful analysis, strong communication, and a deep commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Whether it's designing a system or guiding someone through one of the biggest financial decisions of their life, I take the same thoughtful and strategic approach.

As a real estate agent, my goal is to help buyers and sellers make informed, confident decisions. I leverage my problem-solving mindset and attention to detail to ensure every step of the process is clear, structured, and in my client’s best interest.


Balancing Work, Learning, and Family

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me reading or studying—constantly seeking to expand my knowledge in business, real estate, and personal growth. But my greatest joy comes from spending time with my family, especially playing with my 4-year-old son. Those moments remind me of what truly matters in life—creating a space where memories are made, and dreams take root.

Real estate isn’t just about buying or selling—it’s about finding a place where you can thrive. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, an investor, or looking for your forever home, I’m here to provide expert guidance and a personalized experience every step of the way.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your real estate journey, let’s connect. I’d love to help you find a home that perfectly fits your needs and aspirations.
