Passionate about people and Communication, I’m Bruna from Sorocaba, Brazil. Graduated in Communication and Marketing, speak English and living overseas was always one of my dreams. My career started as a communication apprentice and when I was 22 and I decided to aim my first study abroad program. I went to Canada and I realized that my horizons were definitely expanded in a sense.
After this amazing experience, my competencies and skills in my job were noticeable at that time and I started to chase opportunities to go abroad again. After a couple of years working in International Company, I decided to improve my English through one more exchange. This time I went to the United States to enhance my business vocabulary and fluency. It was clear that I made one awesome decision again.
Times flies and the feeling to live overseas grow up as long as I become more mature. Then I started to work as an educational counselor and I could not deny my will after share my past experiences and encourage many people to live this fantastic experience.
Australia has been my home since the first day. I chose Brisbane because is quite similar to my city in Brazil and the weather surely got my heart, apart from offer several things to do. When you walk around the city is impossible not to feel in love for this very welcome city.
Work at WEST 1 is something that I highly like it. The company values are absolutely aligned to my personal values and I hope to assist the Brisbane branch in this clear successful pathway.

Hi everyone!
My name is Thais and I’m from Belo Horizonte. When I was 23 years old, during my Law School, I had the chance of doing a study abroad program in London to improve my English skills. During that time, I have discovered new places and cultures, made friends from all around the world, which made living overseas one of the best experiences in my life!
Heading back to Brazil, I decided to target my career towards an international life and for quite some time, I have worked in a Law firm helping foreigners to settle in Brazil.
Having this goal in mind and sharing it with my husband, It was a delightful surprise when we discovered that Australia hosts one of the best courses in his field of work. Without thinking twice, we’ve packed our stuff and moved to Brisbane in the “Sunshine State”.
Once here in Australia, we’ve known it was the right choice. Beautiful city, nice (and hot) weather, sunny days, interesting culture, definitely a match!
Now, I’m glad to be a part of the WEST 1 team, where I can help people to accomplish their own goals here in Australia, as they helped me with mine!

My name is Guilherme, I was born in Maringa, Parana. When I was a child my father received a proposal to be transferred to Australia for work in International Trade.
I was only 10 years old when I moved to Australia and I used to live in Mackay up north of Australia.
My first weeks and months here was very hard as I didn’t understand any English and not knowing where I was. After the second month that I started learning English, I fall in love with the culture and the opportunity that my parents had offered me. I completed my high school here and I am graduated in Health and Safety.
At the age of 19 I moved to Brisbane and started to have contacts with international students, most of them Brazilian that came with WEST 1 and when I got to know all the support of WEST 1 for the students. After that, in a WEST 1 event, I was introduced to Aly and I identified myself to WEST 1 philosophy and shortly after I starting working here.
