What I'm looking for
I’m a science, technology, and innovation (CT&I) professional with a Master’s degree in Science, Technology, and Innovation Studies, and deep experience in consulting and specialized research on the impacts of digital technologies.

Over 11 years at SENAI, I led requirements gathering, project management for system development and innovation, contracting, monitoring, user training, testing, and project evaluation, while also coordinating data planning and analysis. I’ve managed major partnerships and databases (including licensing and integration into an institutional data lake), led technology roadmapping work that resulted in 9 published roadmaps, coordinated a 5-year innovation partnership with Google, and supported science writing, technical reporting, and multi-stakeholder workshops—training teams and strengthening adoption through clear documentation.
