Suzana was born and raised in Curitiba, Brazil. Granddaughter of German immigrants, she has always loved being exposed and learning about new cultures, traveling, and studying history, politics and international law.
She obtained her B.A. in International Relations at Centro Universitário Unicuritiba in 2016. Following her graduation, Suzana taught English as a Second Language for 6 years until she believed it was time for a career change.
In February 2022, she began to do translations for immigration law firms and fell in love with the idea of working for one full time. It was a year later when she found an opportunity to join Massa Viana Law and began to understand the importance of helping make people’s dreams come true.
Within the firm, Suzana serves as a paralegal on the family-based immigration petitions and humanitarian petitions, collaborating with Attorney Amandha Lima-Pacheco. She is fluent in both English and Portuguese, and speaks basic German.
During her personal time, Suzana enjoys writing and recording songs with her husband, traveling and spending quality time with her family and her dog.
