I am a Brazilian journalist, with Master's degree in Communication, and focused in international news. My specialty area is Eastern Europe, the Balkans, former Yugoslavia and the former USSR. I'm fluent in English, Spanish and my native Portuguese, and beguinner in Serbo-Croatian, Russian, and Romanian.

This is a brief resume presentation. Some journalistic jargon is used, such as "print" (a reference to newspapers and magazines, not TV or radio), "staff writer" ('redacteur' in French) and "stringer" (a foreign correspondent who is not hired, but works on a free-lance basis).
