It is with great nostalgia that I remember Deutsche Schule Curitiba. I feel privileged to have been a student in the school’s first class. Having classes ‘in the middle of the forest’ was a unique opportunity! This contact with nature has left its mark on my memory. I’m sure that the school was fundamental to my development as a person and also as a professional. It was at Kinderland Curitiba that I discovered my passion for math and science, which later influenced me to study Statistics at Universidade Federal do Paraná and then a postgraduate degree in Data Science at Universidade de São Paulo. I currently work as a Data Scientist in the financial market and I am very grateful to the school, and all the professionals there, for having contributed to my education!
