Through the Malaysia Mission Trip, my desire to do mission work increased because I could see God working through the members of the team and the Malay people. I also met people on this trip that I could not even imagine life without.

Studying in the master’s program in church music at Baylor University is proving to be one of the best steps I have taken in my career so far. As an international student, I feel integrated into an academic discourse environment that is distinctly Christian, culturally diverse, and intellectually engaging.

My allegiance to the Christian faith is at the core of my identity and I have made it a priority to dedicate my time, skills, and energy to the service of the Church through music. My experiences in this area have been varied and enriching, starting in Recife, Brazil where I was born, and continuing to this day.

At a young age, I sensed God calling me to vocational ministry. I was blessed with a family who, very early on, encouraged me to consider ways I might offer my gifts and work to God.

My time at Baylor changed the trajectory of my life forever, giving me an education that has allowed me to say “yes” to God’s leading more often. The musical training I received has allowed me to lead any musical group with confidence and expertise, whether a band, choir, orchestra, or combination of them all.
