Bio
Sandra Gonçalves
Roberta é extremamente dedicada, o que se nota ao vê-la falar com profundidade sobre os temas que está cobrindo. É gentil, sabe trabalhar em equipe, é focada e está sempre procurando aprender. Foi ótimo tê-la conhecido no curso de gestão de empresas jornalísticas. Sua experiência trouxe grande acréscimo para mim e, creio, para nossos colegas de turma.

Roberta is a dynamic and inquisitive journalist capable of accomplishing almost any task that is presented to her. As an industry analyst covering Latin America for the last couple of decades, I have seen Roberta growth as a professional that takes advantages of all the tools at her disposal be them digital or the old fashion pencil, eraser and paper. I consider Roberta to be one of the few telecom journalists that actually has a pan-regional understanding of the differences among Latin America's telecom markets.
