Virginia, International LifePort Advisor

A native Brazilian, I’ve worked as an International LifePort Advisor for the past 13 years supporting physicians worldwide in starting HMP programs at their transplant centers. I’ve always had a passion for new technologies and their ability to improve people’s lives. Before joining ORS, I worked for a biotech company that manufactures enzymes for rare disease therapies. Knowing that my work helps physicians save more lives is extremely fulfilling. My greatest achievement at ORS was helping a group of physicians from Argentina establish a National LifePort Perfusion Program.

A fun fact about me is that I speak three languages and I’m researching which one to learn next. Having recently relocated from Brazil to Florida, I love taking my dog to the beach and spending time there with my son and husband. I also foster stray dogs and help them find their forever homes.  These activities help me recharge and bring a fresh perspective to my work.
