About me
From my bio:
- I am passionate about international grassroots empowerment movements, microfinance and organizations that support intercultural understanding. I was born in Brazil, have graduated from PUCRS with a degree in Communications, and have lived in Europe (Belgium), Asia (India) and Latin America (Brazil). And paraphrasing Voltaire: 'I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it'.
My work
In the role of Director, Fundraising Payments and Operations for the Wikimedia Foundation, my job is to make our Fundraiser more accessible to donors by researching and implementing the preferred payment options worldwide, in the most effective way. I'm also involved in localizing the donation pages so donors have the best donation experience ever when they decide to support the Wikimedia Foundation's mission.

However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
