My name is Milena Franco Silva, and I’m from Curitiba, a city in southern Brazil. I earned a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning from the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná and worked as an architect before discovering my passion for research and academia. This interest led me to pursue a PhD in Public Health Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, where I’ve lived for the past two years, studying how to make cities healthier. Since childhood,

I’ve been involved in church volunteer work—as an acolyte and later in the music ministry. Moving to a new country was a big transition, but I was grateful to find the Brazilian Catholic community in St. Louis. Being part of its music ministry helped me stay connected to my roots, speak my native language, and build friendships that make the city feel more like home, even while far from family.

My name is Giovanna Federico Nunes, and I moved to the USA when I was 9 years old in 2017 because of my dad’s job. I plan on attending Maryville University in the fall and major in Elementary Education, i’ve always been so passionate when it comes to kids and I want to be a part of the kids lives and make a difference. I attended Lafayette High school for all 4 years of high school. I work at a daycare Mondays-Fridays and on my free time I love to spend time with family and friends, I also enjoy traveling.
