Lucas, born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, developed a passion for connecting with people and making a positive impact on their lives from a young age.
In 2018, he earned a Social Work degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, Brazil. During his college years, he pursued internships focused on public policy, particularly in housing, collaborating with families and communities experiencing social vulnerability.
In 2019, Lucas embarked on a new chapter, seizing the opportunity to move to the United States. This decision signified not only a geographical shift but also an immersion in a new culture and language. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, Lucas embraces the challenge of learning and understanding diverse languages and cultures.
Outside his professional endeavors, Lucas thrives on exploration. He immerses himself in new places, delves into people’s stories and customs, and savors the diverse cuisines of the world. While describing himself as a workaholic, he ensures a balance by cherishing quality moments with friends and participating in physical activities, believing in the adage, “A sound mind in a sound body.”
Lucas perceives his role as a receptionist at Embrace Pathways as an opportunity to further nurture connections and continue his positive contributions to the world around him.
