Ana Freitas Melo
Hometown: Ipatinga, Brazil
Bio: Born and raised in Brazil, I graduated in International Economic Relations (2019-2024), at the UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais). I worked as a Tax Preparator and debt collector, in the United States, during my undergraduate studies, as well as an office and financial assistant in Brazil. I currently work as a financial assistant in one of the biggest Brazilian pet food factories, Lupus, work which I hope to conciliate with my Master's. Understanding the intersection of Economics and Politics, amid the instability of Latin American institutions is what drives me the most.
