My Wife, Cristiane
de Oliveira Vitorino
I'm married, and my wife Cristiane appears in the photo above from
our marriage.
Our civilian wedding was on May 17, 1997,
while our religious wedding was just a few weeks after on June 7.
Both were just before we moved to the United States.
In the beginning of 1999, she has finished a
Certificate
of Special Studies in Administration and Management
at the
Harvard Extension
School, one of the schools at Harvard
University.
You can also check her Résumé in both a Word file and in an HTML format.
Background
I was born in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil and the
second largest
in the world with around 18 million inhabitants.
On the other hand, my wife was born in Rio de Janeiro,
one of the most beautiful cities in Brazil.
My course is being sponsored by my current employer, Banco
Itaú S.A.,
the second largest private bank in Brazil, but also expanding abroad
with branches in Argentina,
Europe, Central America and the United States.
Here I put the links in English
and Español as
well.
You can also check my Résumé in both a Word
file and in an HTML
format,
for my previous working experience and academic background.
As you can see, I am an Electronics Engineer from the Instituto
Tecnológico de Aeronáutica.
In my high school, I have studied at Colégio
Bandeirantes.
I like travelling, swimming, and biking.
More recently, I have dedicated some of my spare time to tennis and
squash.
I also like cinema a lot, and one of the last movies I and my wife went to see was Mighty Joe Young.
Personal
Records
I and my wife like to take pictures of the places we visit.
We have been to some beautiful places and we like to register everything.
We are selecting some pictures to make a nice album and link it to
this web page in a future version.
Even at home, we have a good view from MIT and Boston:.
Just a small preview of the sites I access:

Virtual Campus at MIT
And also some interesting sites from Brazilian radio...
