Técnica em geologia, funcionária da Petrobras há 11 anos, me formei em Psicologia em 2019, logo antes do nascimento da minha filha.

Me encontrei profissionalmente ao voltar da licença maternidade e encontrar a agilidade, na forma de kanban e scrum, em um empresa mudada após a pandemia. Eram as ferramentas que faltavam para potencializar a minha incapacidade de permanecer indiferente perante as dificuldades que encontrava nos processos por onde passei.

Apaixonada por problemas, o próximo passo foi me aproximar das facilitações de Workshops, ao ser apresentada ao Design Flow, por descobrir o poder que tem colocar todos juntos no mesmo local ao mesmo tempo, com objetivos e instruções claras!

Depois de receber o convite para compor o time recém criado de Inovação pude considerar finalizada a minha transição de carreira!
