Message

At A Luz de Jess, I’ve built a photography practice spanning portraits, festivals, concerts, cultural events and branded productions. Since 2021, my work has expanded to include conferences and immersive experiences.

With Juçara Produções / Fest Bossa & Jazz, I’ve supported event production, coordinated hospitality logistics and worked on Food & Jazz Natal through production, partner outreach and photography. My current freelance work combines content planning, copy, photography, mobile video and AI-assisted workflows for digital platforms.

At UFRN, I researched rural development, family farming, climate change and public policy, including a comparative study of Brazil’s Food Acquisition Program. I hold a BA in Social Communication – Journalism and a Master’s degree in Development and Environment from UFRN.
