THATIANA, 31 YEARS

I'm Thatiana Cavalcante Arcanjo, I've 28 years old, I'm from Minas Gerais State, Brazil. I am a friendly person, as they say that I am fun to be with. I have good interpersonal skills, hardworking and can handle pressure. I usually express my feelings drawing and paiting. I love to take pictures and teach kids about art. I enjoy watching movies, series and cartoons, and do roller skating during my leisure time or sometimes strolling around and, during the night, look to the stars. There are times that I just want to sit and share ideas with people or more likely initiate a friendly conversation. One thing that I love is to cook, especcially desserts: I know how to make an unbeliveble chocolate cake. There are four years that I’m arts teacher at an Kindergarten and Elementary School. I share my time working as an architect. I love to be in contact with kids, they are the future, hope and light of this world. In 2014 I completed a licence in Visual Arts, since I've work with kids from 2 at 11 years old. During this time, I work to develop in each student an interest for art, and the ability for creative expressions in visual terms. At the begining it was a challenging job, especially teach art for 2 years old students, but every smile in the face of my students gave me strong to do a better work. In 2016 I completed a bachelor of Architecture and Urbanism. When I started to work as an architect, it was so difficult, sometimes I was start to think in leave the job as an art teache, but we need some fun and joy in our lives. And I decided to continue as an art teacher. It was the best choice that I did. In the architecture field is really difficult receive compliments about our work, but working with kids, every day I have a chance to be complimented for my work, when they said: "I love you, auntie Thati", "I love your classes, auntie Thati" or "You're the best art teacher". I live with parents and my brother. I've two siblings: a 30 years old sister, she's a biomedical and she's marry; and a 22 years old brother, he's a psychology student. I have a really good relationship with my parents and siblings. My father is retired, he worked his whole life at a bank. My mom has a little craftwaork store, where she sells her handmade art work. I help at home cooking and sometimes cleaning the house. I am expecting that this job will enhance my skills in taking good care of children and I know with this job I can be more familiar with Malta culture. Kind regards; Thatiana Arcanjo.
