Isabella da Hora

Consultant, Educator/Teacher, Engineer

I am a passionate engineer with a solid academic background that includes a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the Catholic University of Petropolis, a postgraduate degree in Logistics Management from Cândido Mendes University, and a Master's degree in Transportation Engineering from COPPE/UFRJ. Currently, as a Ph.D. candidate in Transportation at COPPE, I am focused on expanding my knowledge to contribute innovative and sustainable solutions in infrastructure, transportation, and mobility. I am always seeking new challenges and collaborations that can positively impact society.

In the intersection of technology and humanity, we discover the power to innovate with empathy, transforming digital advancements and urban mobility solutions into tools that enhance lives and connect our communities in a more sustainable and inclusive way.

In 2019, I joined TEDx Petrópolis as a volunteer, excited to be part of an event I had always admired. From the start, I dreamed of helping bring inspiring ideas to my city. However, with the arrival of the pandemic, we faced immense challenges that prevented the event from happening. Time passed, and after moving to another state and country, I returned to Petrópolis with a fresh perspective and renewed determination. In 2024, I had the opportunity to come back to TEDx Petrópolis, this time as part of the development team. Working on this project has been a transformative experience, as I could finally see my dream of bringing the event to my city come to fruition. Every step taken, every idea shared, reminded me of the power of connection and resilience. I am thrilled to contribute to an event that not only celebrates new ideas but also unites the community around them. TEDx Petrópolis is not just an event; it's a space where voices meet and transform realities. I can’t wait to see it all come to life again!

People don’t know I’m good at weaving together experiences and ideas to create meaningful connections. From my early days as a volunteer at TEDx Petrópolis in 2019, I discovered my passion for fostering collaboration and innovation. Even when faced with the challenges of a pandemic and moving to a different country, I maintained that drive. I leverage my diverse background to inspire and unite our community. I excel at listening to different perspectives and turning them into engaging narratives that resonate with others. This unique blend of engineering expertise and passion for connecting with people makes me love being part of the TEDx volunteer team.
