Ana Lucia Marques Britto
Hi
My name is Ana Lucia. I arrived in Adelaide with my family (my husband and 2 children) in January 2010. My son is a University student and my daughter a High school student now.
I have been volunteering with the Brazilian Association since I arrived. In 2016, I became a Committee member, and in 2018, I was elected Vice President.
I enjoy connecting with people, talking about Brazilian culture and finding ways that we can keep it alive within the Australian culture.
I work at a High School as laboratory technician and teacher, I also volunteer at LMASA (Laboratory Managers Association of South Australia) as a Committee member.
