I hold a degree in Biological Sciences and a master’s degree in Environmental Sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Biology at the University of Aveiro, focusing on invasive species and their ecological impacts, and I work as a Natural Sciences Technician at CCMAR.

My research focuses on the ecological dynamics of invasive species and their effects on natural ecosystems. I have experience in research, teaching, and science outreach, including mentoring in the Sustentarea project, as well as in environmental reporting and biodiversity policy analysis, with contributions to IPBES assessments.
