My name is Cezar A. Crispim. I am a 58-year-old brazilian citizen. I started teaching English at the age of 16. At 19 I went to live in the USA. I stayed there for one year.
After I came back from the USA I started teaching English in my hometow. I used to teach begginer students and teens.
In 1988 I went to UFSC, a federal university in Santa Catarina state in southern Brazil where I graduated in Pharmacy in 1995. I worked as a pharmacist for one year and taught English part-time. As a matter of fact, teaching English became my main activity for a long period.
During that time I felt I needed to be challenged and then I decided to go to UFRGS in Porto Alegre for a M.Sc. in Agricultural and Environmental Microbiology. I got my degree in 2003. I used molecular techniques to identify cyanobacteria on cement walls. That was a very rich period of my life in which I learned new techniques and published five scientific articles in high impact maganizes.
In 2005 I went to USP in São Paulo to get my Ph.D. in Microbiology. That was when I developed leukemia and was forced to stop working. I went back home for a treatment. I had a bone marrow transplant in 2006.
Back home, I started two undergraduate courses simoutaneously. I studied Food Technology in the morning at UTFPR and Portuguese/English at UEPG. I was very busy studying and teaching English. I was also involved in extension projects at UEPG training public school English teachers. I was responsible to give them training in English teaching.
In 2013 I developed easophagus cancer. I underwent a chimotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, had my easophagus and part of my stomach cirurgically removed and survived.
I have been taking courses since then and in August 2019 I started a M.Sc. in Biotechnology.
