Why do you want to become an egg donor?
Because I want other women to be moms. I always wanted to be a mom, since I were little, and now the happiest part of my day is when I get home to my daughter. It's a blessing every woman should be able to get, if they also desire it such as I always did.

Anything special you'd like to tell us about you?
Nothing too special, but I also like sports a lot, yoga and mindfulness exercises, exercising in general (such as going to the gym), and I read a lot. I don't really like watching tv though.

Who are the most important people in your life?
My daughter, my grandmother, my aunt, my best friend who's also my daughter's godmother, and all my family in general. I don't have my parents anymore.
-
What are your special talents?
I think my best treat is communicating and helping others. I am always a little divided between What are your special talents?: I think my best treat is communicating and helping others. I am always a little divided between Communication and Health, I think both options were great for my future when it comes to graduation, but I picked just one. Also, I find really easy to concentrate, I can read and watch lectures for hours. I am a good planner and really organized (also, to whom it might concern, I am a Virgo, so really really neat and organized). I am easy going and patient.
-
What is the one change you wish to see in the world?
Billionaires imitating J K Rowling and donating at least a bit of theirs to poor people.
-
What would you consider to your greatest strengths?
I am a very caring person, organized, neat, I spend more time taking care of others than I do to myself. I am physically pretty strong as well, even though I am skinny. I am objective and decisive about everything I do, and hardworking.
-

I eat basically everything, I don't like meat too much, and I don't drink soda nor eat junk food and fried food. I like regular food such as rice, pasta, vegetables, etc. And I am not a big fan of sugar in general.
-
What is something you've accomplished in life that you are most proud of?
I am proud of speaking more than two languages, to be honest.
-
What is a book you love?
I read two books a month and I learned to read when I was five, so there are so many books on my bedroom's shelves. But my favorite author is Fyodor Dostoevsky, and one of his best for me is The Brothers Karamazov. Also, I am a huge fan of J R R Tolkien's most famous trilogy, Lord of The Rings.
-
How would other people describe you?
I play a lot, and verbalize my feelings, but I don't like disrespect and impolite people, so I isolate myself when something like that happens. People who don't know me might think I am "way too playful", but they always realize I can also focus, once they get to know me better. I get along well with everyone, but I have the same close friends for years, I am very selective when it comes to invite someone to my place as well.
-
Describe your own personality to us
I am sarcastic, but I never say anything that might hurt someone else without a reason. I am also very focused on evolving, becoming someone better. I learn a lot with my life experiences. I am very careful about my attitudes and choices. I love seeing people, but I'd rather stay home with close friends or go to a restaurant than to a big party with strangers. Anyways, I would go anywhere and enjoy it, as long as I have the ones I love. I always take care of people, even if I don't know them and will never see them again. I am playful, easygoing, sympathetic and objective, I don't like to lose time with things that I know that won't get me anywhere.
-
Books you are currently reading
I am now reading an Ethic book for university, but I think it's pretty obvious. And I am reading, at the same time (I usually read two books at once, so I don't get bored), "The Women That Run With The Wolves: Myths And Stories of The Wild Woman Archetype" (Clarissa Pinkola Estes) and the last one I read was "Oedipus King" (Sophocles).
-
Who are you closest to in your family and why?
Besides my daughter, who's still a baby, my grandmother, my cousin and my aunt are my very closest. I have a small family, so everyone's close to each other anyways.
-
What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?
I tried other courses (Journalism, Psychology and Design) and felt frustrated cause I wanted something that really matched my personality. I went to Europe to learn other things, as I mentioned above, and realized the obvious: my family works with PR, they're big in Brazil, and I was always great when it comes to communicate, persuade in a good way and finish with to do lists.
-
If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?
I've always wanted to donate my eggs, and even offered once to my mother's friend, years ago, since she couldn't get pregnant until then. My daughter is healthy and very smart, and I was born to be a mom. It gets me pretty emotional to even consider making this dream easier to another mom to be.
-
Places you'd love to travel
I travel every holidays I have. Short ones I go to beaches in Brazil (I pick a different one each time) and longer ones I pick another country. For the next years, I'd like to go places where I know my daughter and fiancee would enjoy with me. I really want to go to Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Greece, since I'd never been to any of there.
-
What are your favorite words to live by?
Always aim for growth
-
Sports/Dance/Hobbies you enjoy
I danced ballet since I was 4, until I turned 16. I swam since I were a baby until my mom saw I could take care of myself inside the ocean and pool, not sure what age though. I played fencing from 11-18 years old, and still play it from time to time (my stepfather who raised me already played it on the Olympics and we train together for fun). I play tennis every week and go to the gym everyday, including Saturdays and Sundays (when I have the time). And I practice yoga three times a week. I love drawing, but it's been a while since I last drew anything, and I always tell myself I should get back to it, but end up reading or playing with my baby on my free time.
-
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Same way as my life is right now, only difference is that I want to be finally graduated and working with my family on big projects.
