Adriano Oliveira Brito

As an employee, I am very proud to have graduated in Administration from UNIALFA and then to have been able to do an MBA in Industrial Management. When I remember all the sacrifice and dedication I was able to offer for my education, what comes to mind is the gratitude I have for this opportunity. I remember that on the day of the graduation ceremony my name was called to be one of the outstanding students of the course and I was very honored, and later when the gallery of outstanding students was created, I was very emotional to see my name on that wall and I was able to bring my two daughters, Giovana and Rafaela, one weekend and show them that anything is possible if we make an effort and fight for what we want. I can only thank UNIALFA and the GJA Group for all the support and help in building my career and my studies. Remember, I don't want to stop here, I want to keep studying and improving every day!!!!

I started at UNIALFA in 2020/1 through a transfer, where I was welcomed by everyone, it was the place where I found myself, I am very grateful to have carried out my academic trajectory at UNIALFA and completed the Psychology course in the semester 2023/2.

Edirene of Fatima Severino

I'm Edirene, I started at UNIALFA as a collaborator when my youngest son was just 11 months old. Today he is already 11 years old and I have a degree in Psychology and a postgraduate degree in Psychological Assessment, a course I always dreamed of taking, and UNIALFA gave me the opportunity to make this dream come true. I am very grateful for the opportunity to make this dream come true, but also to be able to give the best to my family by working here, developing my work and growing alongside this Educational Institution that teaches me so much. These were years of growth and transformation, and yes, I believe that Education transforms lives!

Eder Julio da Mota Birth

Éder Júlio da Mota Nascimento – Controller and Finance Manager. Sometimes all it takes is a gateway. I had my gateway to UNIALFA opened in May 2006, an opportunity given to me by my first manager at UNIALFA, Fernando Silva de Morais. I mention his name with great pride, proud to have been one of his subordinates and who later became a great friend and lifelong brother. No longer with us today, but who will always be remembered with great affection. Fernando, thank you very much!

At that time, even without much experience, or almost none, so to speak, Fernando trusted me and even with some points of concern highlighted by the recruitment team at the time, he took the risk and hired me for the position of Infrastructure Assistant (audio and visual support). “That was the gateway I needed”, from then on there were several promotions in a row. From my academic beginnings in 2008-1, when I enrolled in Accounting Sciences and was invited by the Accounting Manager to be part of his team, I went through all the existing functions until I was transferred to the Financial team.

As a financial supervisor, I started my first postgraduate course, which has already propelled me towards a new challenge. Yes, the time has come to take on new responsibilities. At this moment, I had the opportunity to get the job I had always dreamed of, which for many seemed impossible: Controller and Finance Manager. I recently completed my second postgraduate course. It is important to emphasize that all my professional goals have always been linked to my studies and with dedication and commitment. I once again emphasize the importance of studies. Take advantage of opportunities and tirelessly pursue your goals. To conclude, in one word: “gratitude.” Thank you UNIALFA!

Giovanna Fernandes dos Reis

My name is Giovanna, and I've been a secretarial assistant since May 2022, but my experience with UNIALFA began in 2018/2. In 2018, I began my law degree, which at the time was coordinated by Bebel. I was warmly welcomed and well-guided by the coordinators, who would visit the classroom to meet the students firsthand, and the professors always taught life lessons, rather than just theory.

I completed my degree in 2023/2 with flying colors and I am very grateful for each event, each class, learning experience and bonds of friendship that the institution provided me. With UNIALFA I became not only a capable and mature person professionally, but also fulfilled in my personal life.

Heverton Eustaquio Pinto

I enrolled at UNIALFA in 2007 to study Economics. I had excellent economics professors, which made me think about the possibility of pursuing my education in higher education (teaching). I was an intern with Professor Aurélio Troncoso at CEPEM-ALFA (Center for Economic and Market Research) in 2008/2009. Today I am a professor here at UNIALFA.

Hudson Lucas Aleixo

I am Hudson Lucas, and I joined the institution in 2009 in the Administration course. In my first period, I had the opportunity to participate in a selection process for an intern at the Library. I was accepted and was very happy with the hiring. When I realized that the IES offered scholarships for employees, I was hired as a CLT employee at the first opportunity. This helped me a lot to complete my course. In 2014, I participated in a selection process for the Internship Unit Manager, my first leadership position. In 2015, when I held a leadership position, I was missing something to improve my technical and behavioral skills. My manager at the time (Professor Itla) encouraged me to start an MBA in People Management. In 2019, I was promoted to the Internship and Research Supervision Position at UNIALFA. I received several honors and awards during the period that I led and ran the department.

The year 2022 was challenging. I was invited by the Commercial Manager (André Felipe) to supervise the commercial department for a period of 6 months. We were able to deliver a campaign with proposed and delivered goals. At the end of the year, with the competence I have in Customer Relations, I was again invited to take over the Relationship Center area, truly a challenge for anyone: an area that has contact with all students, always assisting and resolving academic demands and student support.

That same year, I started a new MBA in Project Management. Due to the proposals I was invited to, it led me to learn about the world of projects. Anyway, a little about my professional and academic history at UNIALFA, where I grew professionally and personally, and fulfilled all my personal and professional dreams. In these 14 years, 7 months and 5348 days, 764 weeks… I smiled and cried, I got things right and got things wrong. Now I'm here to tell you a little about my story at UNIALFA. Who knows, maybe I can start studying Psychology… The future belongs only to God. Thank you!

Juliene Aleide Alves

I started at UNIALFA in 2012. I already had a degree in HR technology, but I really wanted to continue studying and expand my knowledge. I saw the opportunity at UNIALFA to pursue it even further with the support of the scholarship. I started the Business Administration program and graduated in 2018, but I still felt like I wanted to study more. However, it wasn't a postgraduate program I wanted, so I started the Psychology program in 2020, and I'm completely in love with it.

Karolina Santos Miranda

I am a former student at UNIALFA. I completed the Administration course in 2013/1. With this training, I was able to earn a better salary. In 2015, I started working at UNIALFA. Thanks to the employee discounts, I had the privilege of fulfilling my dream of studying Law. I am very grateful to UNIALFA for being part of my professional training and allowing me to be part of the technical and administrative team of the institution, carrying out my activities with ethics, commitment, responsibility and a systemic view of my actions. Thank you!

Mariane Rodrigues da Silva

I have been working at the institution for 8 years. I started as a Human Resources Assistant and as soon as I started working, I immediately signed up for the entrance exam, because the scholarship was the opportunity I needed to study. I graduated in 2020 in the Psychology course. After completing the course, I was promoted to HR Analyst and am now finishing my specialization in Psychological Assessment at UNIALFA. So, I can only thank UNIALFA, which was the main foundation for my academic and professional life.

Nayla da Silva Moura Pires

I am Nayla Moura, a Psychology graduate and currently a collaborator at UNIALFA. Being part of this team today is a dream come true. Being alongside professionals who identify with what they do and with the institution's mission encourages us to grow and improve. Here I feel very motivated to seek more knowledge and meet more people to better serve in what I do. Since my training period, I have had a lot of support to participate in the many opportunities that the institution offers to students and within the Psychology course, the excellent work of the Coordinator Herica Landi, always bringing critical thinking, creativity and commitment, made all the difference! Now as my manager, I can say that it is a privilege. Since I was a Rector, I have felt well supported and welcomed here. This inspires excellence and I am very grateful to God for the opportunity to join and contribute to the team.

Renan

My name is Renan, and my journey at UNIALFA is a story of gratitude and recognition. I started working at UNIALFA as a young apprentice and, after completing my time in that role, I made the best decision of my life, studying Administration with the goal of applying all my knowledge in my workplace. I had the opportunity to continue as an intern, where I learned a lot and delved deeper into the internal workings of the institution. I was soon promoted to Administrative Assistant and, later, to Administrative Assistant, always seeking to improve my skills and competencies.

My graduation in Business Administration was an exciting milestone, and UNIALFA recognized my competence by offering me the position of Analyst, where I apply the knowledge I acquired. My story is a celebration of the gratitude I feel for each opportunity, for the recognition and for the confidence in my competence. UNIALFA values the growth of its students and employees, and I am deeply grateful for my journey thus far. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the success of the institution.

Rafael Ferreira da Silva

Hello, I'm Rafael Silva, a law graduate from UNIALFA. I joined the University of São Paulo (IES) in 2015 as a temporary employee, quickly becoming a permanent employee, and subsequently promoted. During my academic training (2018–2023), I received a UNIALFA scholarship with a discount of 80%, which was crucial for my continued enrollment. Now, having graduated for the second time and remaining at UNIALFA as an employee, I'm considering specialization.

Thais Victory Moreira Birth

I started my journey at UNIALFA in 2020, as a Controller Intern, where I stayed for a year. After completing one year, a vacancy for Human Resources Assistant came up, which I saw as a great opportunity and even though I was very afraid, I saw it and embraced it as an opportunity for growth within the institution.

After starting in the Human Resources Department, after 6 months in the area, I was promoted to Human Resources Analyst in February 2022. I have been here for a total of 3 years and with each passing year I feel more grateful to the institution, to my coworkers and to the supervisors and managers I had during my career, who embraced me and gave me all the necessary knowledge so that I could carry out my activities.
