Fernanda Fadel Stefaniak

Cultural Anthropologist | AI Researcher | Multidisciplinary Analyst Key Skills: Cultural Research • AI Training • Ethnographic Methods • Travel Design • Bilingual Communication (PT/EN) • Cross-Cultural Consultation I'm a cultural researcher with a passion for understanding how human behavior intersects with technology, business, and social systems. My background studying Social Sciences with a specialization in Anthropology (UFPR) has given me an unique lens to analyze patterns, bridge cultural gaps, and apply research methodologies across diverse fields. Connecting Worlds My work at UFPR's Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology saw me curating indigenous ethnology collections and co-developing the "Nhande mbyá Reko" exhibition (2018) for Brazil's Ministry of Culture project– work that taught me how to make complex cultural concepts accessible to diverse audiences. - My academic research explored two fascinating intersections: - +How culture shapes learning (Anthropology & Education) +How tourism can empower communities (Community-Based Tourism) As a Travel Agent at Entre Turismo e Viagens I combined my passion for cultural understanding with client-focused service, handling client prospecting, sales, and fully customized travel planning. My role involved in-depth itinerary research, airfare analysis and booking, and event coordination—skills that reinforced my ability to analyze needs, solve logistical challenges, and deliver tailored experiences. Freelancing: I also have some experience doing freelance work in data annotating, writing for model training and AI tutoring. My experience as a Social Media Manager and Administrative Assistant at Seicho-no-Ie do Brasil (2018-2020) gave me practical skills in content planning, operations and events. Since 2020, I've been leveraging my bilingual fluency (Portuguese/English) and research skills as a: - Cultural consultant & translator - Chatbot assistant - Academic researcher - Virtual assistant In an increasingly connected world, we need professionals who understand both human systems and technological ones.
