Let me tell you…

Description

Hi folks, I am a computer engineer and since I graduated (3 years), my life has been pretty crazy. Actually, much before - when I left Brazil to study in Hungary and started working as a trainee at SAP Labs Hungary. After graduated, went to South of Brazil and lived the craziest life and work situations, until I decided to quit to do my masters. Guess what? 4 days later I was in a crazy startup and 2 months later on another whole side of Brazil. To make things even harder, all of that happened while I was living and fighting a bad depression. U

I would like to tell in very short slides a bit of my trajectory and how I managed to overcome the very bad things that happened to me, especially considering I was almost always the only women in the room, lived far away from my life since I was a teenager, and had no partner.
