Staff Profiles

Marcelo Silveira

Staff-in-Training Coordinator

Marcelo is our original Brazilian. He grew up in Sao Paulo and, other than travelling a lot; he was never away from home for more than a year until he came to Outward Bound Australia in 2002. Marcelo has always been a hard worker - working in his family business from the age of 17, as well as going to school and university.

He worked in a management role in the business until he sold it and moved on to study to be a park ranger. Marcelo's first job as a ranger was on one of Brazil's beautiful islands in the south of the country. Here he met a man who, because Marcelo expressed interest in experiential education, recommended Outward Bound to him.
