Giovanna Maropo is about to begin an incredible journey from Brazil to Miami, where she will pursue her Doctor of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Miami. As a talented opera singer, Giovanna has dedicated years to her craft, and this opportunity is the next big step in her career. She has earned a scholarship for her studies, but it will not be enough to cover her living expenses when she first arrives in the United States.

Giovanna is making this move on her own, leaving behind her family and everything familiar to follow her passion for music. The first few months in Miami will be especially challenging, as she will need to pay for rent, food, and other basic needs before her scholarship funds become available. This fundraiser is to help Giovanna get settled and focus on her studies and music, without the stress of immediate financial worries.

By supporting Giovanna, you are helping a dedicated artist take a bold step toward her dreams. Your contribution will make a real difference as she adapts to a new country, language, and culture, and works to share her voice with the world.
