What I'm looking for

I seek research or academic roles focused on ethical fieldwork, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clear dissemination, with opportunities for impact and growth.

I am an ethnomusicology master's candidate with a background in social anthropology and extensive field research experience. I combine qualitative research, interview transcription, and academic writing to produce rigorous, publishable work.

I have completed independent consultancy researching unaccompanied minor migration and have worked as a research assistant handling transcription, text edition, and collaborative reporting. My work emphasizes careful field methods and clear communication across languages.

I am bilingual in Spanish and English and can read Portuguese; I also bring technical familiarity with LaTeX and academic referencing tools. I have experience in community education and event organization from volunteer and extracurricular roles.

I aim to contribute to research teams, NGOs, or academic projects that value ethical fieldwork, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clear dissemination of findings.
