What I'm looking for

I’m pursuing opportunities to contribute to doctoral research programs in the United States, building on my experience in translational research, medical education, and clinical operations.

At CIGEN Medical Clinic, I direct administrative, clinical, and operational workflows across surgical, laboratory, radiology, and anesthesiology units. This work drove $1.29M+ in annual revenue for 2023.

At Catholic University of Brasília, I redesigned the medical curriculum across all six academic years around Problem-Based Learning, helping raise the national Ministry of Education rating from 2/5 to 4/5. I also founded an institutional biomedical journal and negotiated clinical clerkship agreements.

As an attending general and colorectal surgeon at SES-DF, I provided perioperative care and complex surgery while precepting residents and interns. I also formulated early-detection pathways that reduced mean hospital stay duration and surgical inventory costs by 10%.
