My name is Lais, I'm 23.
Actually, I'm studying Analysis and Systems Development in Fatec Zona Leste. It's my last semester. 
Also, I work in Avanade as trainee, learning and developing CRM's systems.
In my free time, I like to read, listen to podcasts and have a time with my family.
When I finish this graduation, I pretend to start a new one in the same area, but with focus in grow up with leadership skills.
I have experience in learning english since I was around 8 years old, when I used to read and listen to international musics. I have a great facility to watch and read english contents, like music (as I mentioned before), movies, podcasts and some news. I think I need to improve my conversation and writing skills, especially this one, because I don't used to practice this.

Thank you so much for read and I hope we have a great semester together :)
