WEST 1 Sydney

Hi! My name is Natalia, born in Sao Paulo, Pisces, carnival lover, traveling, camping, diving, being near the sea and relating to people. Graduated in Accounting, postgraduate in Strategic Human Resources Management, I developed my career working for almost 10 years in one of the largest financial institutions in Brazil. In 2013, to make life a little more exciting, we decided, my husband and I, to start a new life in a new country, and then Australia was our chosen destination, which easily won our heart, and today we have immense pleased to call this place "our home". In these 6 years of new life, many adventures, many learnings, many difficulties, and many choices have taken place, it all paid off. Learning a new language, working with professions that never crossed my mind, meeting people I might never have had a chance to get in my way, it’s the incredible opportunities I keep having made that choice. And today, I'm delighted to be part of a team and a company that helps people achieve their dreams and desire to try the new, and that’s what keeps me motivated and believing that we are here to share good experiences & knowledge with each other.

I'm Michele, born in Novo Hamburgo / RS, in love with my family, friends, animals, reading, sports, and parties. Since childhood, I always liked to make friends and socialize and since then I have worked with people. By the way, which makes me really happy. In my professional life, I come from the administrative area since the beginning of my career, and now in 2019, I'm finishing a degree in international business. I come from over 10 years of experience working with finance and bidding, by the way, I’m a specialist on it. I have a vast background in leadership, I always worked to motivate people. And since life is a box of surprises in 2018 my husband and I decided to embark on this adventure called Australia, here I am discovering a world of possibilities, new learning, rediscovering myself and doing what I most like about my life, it's enjoying and making friends. I am now embarking on a new adventure called West 1 where I am so happy to become part of this team that helps people to make their dreams come true.

I am João Alfredo, Brazilian and born in Rio de Janeiro, but I feel like a citizen of the world. I love traveling, and that’s what motivates me in life.

My passions are traveling, music and nature. 

I am always looking for a new destination to visit, a new National Park to hike, and have new experiences that make me feel like I am living my life the best way. 

After long years of planning, I finally moved to Australia in 2017 and started working at WEST 1 in 2018. 

Hello! :)

My name is Priscila, I was born in São Paulo but always had the dream to live abroad.

In 2013, I took the decision to come to Australia and finally live this dream, since then, I felt in love with this beautiful country that is full of opportunities. The main reason that made me stay in Australia was the safety and lifestyle. I also love being able to live close by the ocean.

Travelling is my passion and since I moved to Australia I had the opportunity to travel to amazing places as Indonesia, New Zealand, Maldives, Curaçao and some places in Australia. I am always planning a new adventure for next holidays.

On the weekends, I love spending some good time with my friends, spend the day at the beach or discover new places around Sydney.

I am graduate in Hotel Management and since I concluded my Bachelor I have been working with Hospitality, Travel/tourism and Exchange programs. I have around 4 years’ experience working with exchange programs and my first job in this industry was in Brazil, where I had the great opportunity of helping people to realize their dreams of studying abroad anywhere around the World.

All my past experience helped me to get this job position at WEST 1 and I am very happy to be part of this amazing team and excited to help all our students to continue in Australia.

I hope to see you soon in our office for a chat.
