Roberto is a 3rd-year Civil Engineering Brazilian Exchange Student currently at California State University, Long Beach. His native language is Portuguese, and he also speaks English (advanced) and French (basic). Roberto is very skilled with the software AutoCAD and Revit. Since his childhood he liked to create and develop new things, and this is why he has chosen to be an engineer and take the opportunity to come to study in the US. This experience gave him the chance to be in contact with a new culture and gain a new perspective of the world. Back at his University in Brazil (Federal University of Uberlandia), he was a co-founder of the Civil Engineering Junior Enterprise of his university and also the director of quality. In this position he was responsible for the organization and continuous development of the Junior Enterprise. Being part of this company taught him teamwork skills and to be determined. He also worked with the project and design of the water distribution system of a small city. Now, as a volunteer of One Community, he brings his skills and experience for further development as a member of the Hydraulics Team designing for the 7 Sustainable Village Models.
