Once finalized my master degree in 2017, regressing to Brazil, I'm going to pursue a job position at a consultancy/ infrastructure company in Săo Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, where are concentrated both, the main projects of infrastructure development and the most expressive urban problems. These cities, as main economic hub, are the fresh start for my plans of influence the expansion of the underground works.
With my background and UK experience, I will seek to integrate one of the extension projects of metro system. On this role, I will assist to propose methods of design and construction to overcome difficulties during execution of tunnels and subterranean stations. The goal is achieving a resonant performance on the project by delivering significant results and offering a very useful final product to society. And by 2020, I intend to reach an opportunity of joining an international consulting firm, such as CH2M or Mott MacDonald, where I'm going to work with global operations and bring modern technologies and alternative methods of constructing to services performed in Brazil. Likewise, I will have become a member of Brazilian Committee of Tunnels to disseminate and stimulate the usage of the underground space and reinforce the networking necessary to do so.
Within the consulting company, around 2030, having accomplished further specialization and having experienced vast distinct enterprises, I intend to be managing the technical sector and executing studies for subterranean works worldwide. Eventually, as a result of years leading projects with passion and commitment, I visualize myself become an associate of the firm. In parallel to this, due to meaningful collaboration on the sector, hopefully, I'm going to represent my country within the International Tunneling and Underground Space Association, entering on the fight for the propagation of the benefits of the underground space utilization, by the side of great Brazilian professionals, such as Tarcísio Barreto Celestino e André Assis.
Furthermore, I have the dreaming of assisting young students approach a graduation or post-graduation abroad, in order to bring the outstanding teaching and non-provincial vision to collaborate on the development of Brazil. The idea is starting from the unity until creating a foundation. We have some institutions which are already in this line, and in my opinion, as much as we do as individual, better results we can obtain as country. Education is the foundation of changes and may be the baseline to solve many issues.
