About me
A storyteller, an expat, someone who has always believed that ceremony is how we mark belonging.
I was born in Sobral, Ceará, in the northeast of Brazil, and moved to Ireland almost a decade ago. Somewhere along the way, this island started feeling like home. As an expat, I know what it's like to build a life between cultures, to create traditions that blend old and new, and find your people far from where your story began.
That experience shapes the way I approach every ceremony I create. Because at the heart of it all, ceremonies are about belonging. They are moments where we gather the people who matter most, pause the noise of everyday life, and acknowledge something important: a love story, a new beginning, a life well lived, a child finding their place in the world, or a family growing in a new direction.
My job is to help tell those stories.
Before becoming a celebrant, I trained and worked as a solicitor. Later, I moved into learning design and development, where I spent years thinking about storytelling, structure, language, and how to create experiences that genuinely connect with people. Those skills turn out to be surprisingly useful when you're entrusted with telling someone's life story, love story, or family story.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about creating ceremonies where people feel seen, respected and celebrated exactly as they are. I work with couples, families and communities from all backgrounds, cultures, identities and belief systems, creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. And because stories don't always fit neatly into one language, I offer bilingual and multilingual ceremonies in English, Portuguese and Spanish, so grandparents, parents, friends, and chosen family can all feel part of the moment.
Off-duty
Camping, music festivals, buying books faster than I can read them, searching for the perfect flat white, and regularly convincing myself that our household could absolutely accommodate another dog or cat (my wife remains unconvinced).
