As a Graduate Assistant at the Center for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Franchising (CIEF) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, I contribute to the research and outreach activities of the center, supporting its mission to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in the region. I assist in developing and delivering topics such as business modeling, lean startup, and franchising, as well as conducting market analysis and feasibility studies for new ventures and social enterprises. I also help in organizing and promoting events and competitions that showcase and reward the entrepreneurial talent and potential of students and community members. I am an international student from Brazil, passionate about learning and applying the latest trends and best practices in business and information systems management. I am pursuing a Dual Master's degree in these fields at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where I have acquired valuable skills and knowledge in data analytics, project management, digital marketing, and e-commerce. I have also earned certifications in Cascade and HubSpot, two leading platforms for strategic planning and inbound marketing. I aspire to leverage my education and experience to create positive social and economic impact through innovation and entrepreneurship.
