Selected from a pool of over 20,000 candidates, I participated in the CSN Leadership Trainee Program. Over the course of 8 months, I engaged with key leaders at CSN, participating in activities, training sessions, and projects aimed at developing business and strategy skills.During this time, I gained valuable experience across multiple sectors including Mining, Steelmaking, Cement, Energy, and Logistics. This involved understanding the unique challenges faced by each sector within the company and devising tailored solutions.As part of the Leadership Trainee Program, I led a team of five individuals in a final project presented to the company's C-level executives. This project focused on identifying and capitalizing on an opportunity I had identified during the program - specifically, reducing fuel consumption at one of CSN's furnaces while simultaneously lowering carbon emissions and associated costs. The solution we presented offered a payback period of less than 1 year and resulted in a $3 million increase in cash flow.Following the completion of the program, I transitioned to a role within the Corporate Sustainability team and was subsequently promoted to the Specialist position, the highest level attainable post-CSN's Trainee Program.

My responsibilities included developing key performance indicators (KPIs) for delivery and warehousing operations, which were vital in optimizing the company’s logistics and supply chain processes.Beyond KPI development, I led and organized insight meetings to present and interpret the analyzed results for various departments, driving data-driven decision-making across the organization. These sessions helped align teams on actionable strategies, contributing to Neosolar’s growth in the renewable energy sector. My work not only supported the company’s operations but also laid the groundwork for continuous improvement and data-led performance tracking.Before leaving the position, I created detailed instructional videos explaining the tools I had developed. This was essential for ensuring a smooth transition for the people who would take over my role, given how new the department was. This effort helped maintain continuity and supported the department's ongoing development even after my departure.

At 16, I was awarded the opportunity to join the Junior Scientific Initiation Program in Mathematics at the University of Sao Paulo as recognition for my prior involvement in scientific research during high school. Throughout this immersive experience, I delved into the realms of logical thinking and advanced mathematical concepts, alongside fellow master's students from IME-USP, expanding my knowledge base and honing my skills in logical reasoning and complex mathematical theories.Juggling the demands of this program alongside my high school curriculum presented its challenges, yet through effective time management and dedication, I successfully navigated both spheres of academia.
