I was born and raised in Brazil and now reside in Southern California. I'm married and have 3 kids. I'm a Personal Financial Rep. at a bank. I enjoy traveling, shopping, trying out new recipes, going out to eat and going to the movies. I really enjoy baking on cold, gloomy days. I get very upset and frustrated with disorganized, messy places.
