Hi! I’m Andressa, I’m from the countryside of Paraná, Brazil, and I have a degree in Production Engineering. In December 2024, I made a decision that changed the course of my life: I left the comfort of my routine in Brazil to live something I had always dreamed of experiencing life in another country.
Even with some uncertainties, I chose to trust the process. And here in Ireland, I discovered a new version of myself: stronger, more open to the unknown, and with a real sense of freedom.
Today, I’m part of the team at Academic Bridge English School, and helping others live this experience made me realize that an exchange program isn’t just about studying abroad, it’s about transformation.
It’s about looking at someone and knowing you’re contributing to a dream that, not long ago, felt out of reach.
If you’ve been thinking about living something bigger, I’m here to show you it’s possible and easier than you think.
