Q: Where are you originally from? Do you still have family there? Do you have any siblings? If so, what do they do? Any significant/insignificant others? Pets?
Caroline: I am originally from Porto Alegre, the southernmost part of Brazil, where winter winds blow cold and strong, and where cowboys are called “gauchos”. My mother and sister still live there. My father lives in NJ. We are a quite diverse family – German from my father’s side and Italian from my mom’s. My sister chose the science career path (she’s a chemist) while I took on the role of the family’s rebel and went into the arts. (more…)
