I am Kyria Rebeca Finardi, the leader of this research group (EMITI) and the first person in my family to have a PhD. I consider myself a very blessed person because I do what I like most (research/education) and in addition to getting paid for it, I get to travel to different places and meet wonderful people with whom I learn a lot. In this photo, I am looking ahead and upwards, which is how I want to be in 2025... an important year for me as I become full professor at Ufes. There’s an African proverb that says that ‘if you want to walk fast, walk alone, but if you want to go far, walk in company’ and I hope I can continue to walk in good company, inspiring and being inspired by those who walk with me on this journey 
