Born in Governador Valadares in Brazil, Poliana spent the majority of her adolescence growing up in Connecticut. She has a BA in Psychology and spent five years teaching English in the U.S., South Korea, and Japan. While in Japan, Poliana scaled Mount Fuji and is living proof that you can touch a cloud. She is a creature of seasonal habits; in the winter you’ll find her on the slopes snowboarding, and in the summer you’ll spot her exploring the city in search of new coffee shops.
