"You are your greatest project – don’t stop until you are proud of yourself. ”
Originally from Brazil, Bruna moved to the Netherlands for a cultural exchange. At first, she was simply curious to see what was on the other side of the ocean, but things changed, and she found the love of her life (but that’s a whole other story!). Before becoming an Office Assistant, Bruna worked as a recruiter, where she developed strong skills in communication, organization, and problem-solving. She enjoys connecting with people, making them feel welcome, and bringing positive energy to those around her (which she also believes is part of Brazilian culture, and she is proud of that). Outside of work, Bruna loves to travel, explore new places, and stay connected with nature.
