My name is Ivan Ricardo, and I have been a trainee in Minnesota since February 2025. I will be returning to Brazil soon. This year has contributed greatly to both my professional and personal growth. I gained extensive experience, learned a great deal, and was also able to accomplish some personal goals.
I am deeply grateful to the MAST team for the opportunity and for all the support provided throughout this period.
Some special moments I experienced here include: I attended the World Pork Expo 2025, together with other Brazilian trainees, I helped organize a traditional Brazilian celebration — São João / Festa Junina, I visited places I had always wanted to see, such as Chicago and Minneopa Park, and I learned more about American culture.
