I am an Air Traffic Controller and Approach Control Supervisor with 13 years of experience at Brazil’s Department of Airspace Control, working in high-density, mixed civil-military airspace. My operational background includes approach control, surveillance services, precision approach radar, emergency response, staffing coordination, and collaboration with adjacent ATC facilities. I currently supervise shifts at Anápolis Approach Control, where I manage terminal sectors, coordinate contingency decisions during equipment outages and emergencies, mentor junior controllers, and contribute to operational documents and regulations. I also provide precision approach radar services for military and commercial aircraft at one of Brazil’s busiest terminal areas, supporting safe traffic flows across multiple aerodromes, heliports, and an international airport. I hold current ATCO, approach control, approach control supervisor, and PAR ratings. With ICAO English Level 6, I also serve as an aviation English instructor and examiner for Brazilian air traffic controllers and airline pilots. I was awarded the Brazilian military bronze medal for ten years of good service and am fully available to relocate.
