Career
Cecilia lived in New York, Washington D.C., Brasilia and Paris before majoring in Journalism at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. She started her career at Globo TV in 2005, as an intern on the morning news show, Bom Dia Brasil. At the foreign news desk, as an international editor, she helped cover the deaths of Pope John Paul II and Michael Jackson; the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Barack Obama's historical election; and the global crisis of 2008, among other stories. In December 2010, Cecilia transferred to the London bureau. She has been producing and reporting on breaking news, business, lifestyle, cultural and entertainment stories since. Cecilia has also conducted high-profile interviews with some of the biggest names in the public eye: David Beckham, Brad Pitt, the boys from One Direction, English singer and songwriter Adele, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, author E.L. James, ex-Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg and British Prime Minister David Cameron.[1]
Beyond London, Cecilia has recently covered the attacks on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Hours into her reporting on the dramatic events unfolding in Paris, French special forces stormed the kosher market where hostages were being held. Less than 300 meters away from the scene, she was surprised and visibly shaken by the sound of explosions and gunshots. During her live broadcast, she readily admitted to never having heard the sound of gunfire before.[2] The episode instantly became a trending topic on Twitter, dividing public opinion. While most viewers praised her "authentic spontaneity" and appreciated the fact that "journalists are not robots", others considered her to be "unprepared" and "nervous".[3]
