Why I’m Meant For

Traba

I’m drawn to Traba because it’s building something that matters — and doing it with grit and excellence. From streamlining the supply chain to empowering workers, Traba is at the intersection of purpose and performance. That’s exactly where I want to be.

What excites me most is the chance to grow alongside a team that runs toward problems, and not from them. That’s how I’ve always worked too. Whether I was building predictive sales models at Ambev, redesigning business curriculum for girls in Tanzania, or cold-emailing CEOs for live case competitions at Babson, I’ve gone all-in when the mission mattered. At Babson’s top-ranked entrepreneurship course, I led a team through weekly creative pitches that won us the competition — because we put in the hours, did the outreach, and delivered excellence every single time.

My background

  • At VTEX, the largest e-commerce software company in Latin America, I spent the summer working directly with the CEO in New York to tackle one of his top priorities: uncovering and solving pain points for our largest corporate clients.

    I led interviews with key clients, shaped the research scope independently, and dug into customer insights and product usage data. By the end of the internship, I pitched a strategic proposal to improve user experience and unlock growth — directly to the CEO. The experience taught me how to own high-stakes problems end-to-end, sharpened my product thinking, and gave me real-world training in building solutions that drive results.

  • At AB InBev, I led a high-impact project building a predictive model to track SKU availability across over 1 million points of sale by using Python to boost forecast accuracy and drive smarter sales recommendations.

    I also created national sales targets for the launch of Corona Cero and developed a real-time portfolio tracking tool in Databricks, helping teams across Brazil make faster, data-driven decisions. The role pushed me to think critically, move fast, and collaborate across functions while improving my technical skills. It was the kind of challenge I thrive on: fast-paced, high-stakes, and built for impact.

  • At Babson, I put my entrepreneurial mindset to the test in the Ultimate Entrepreneurship Challenge — the top class at the #1 school for entrepreneurship, led by serial founder Len Green.

    As CEO of my team, I led weekly deep dives into real-world business problems and pitched creative solutions directly to the companies’ execs. We didn’t always have all the answers — but we made up for it in grit, resourcefulness, and relentless effort. After a semester of high-stakes challenges, we won. That experience proved what I now carry into every role: it’s not just what you know, but how hard you’re willing to work.

So… Why me?

It’s simple: I am willing to do to whatever it takes.

I know I may not be the “easiest” hire because of my F-1 visa status. But I’d love to use my OPT year to prove that I’m a bet worth making. I’m a fast learner, determined, and hungry to absorb as much as I can.
