Working on the SustentaMAR project, encouraging the replacement of diesel generators with solar energy systems, reducing pollution and improving the quality of life of fishermen. Support in training fishermen for the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems, contributing to the sustainability of artisanal fishing.

As the creator and expense manager of the Project 'Lula do Cabo: from the Sea to the Plate', I was responsible for the financial and operational management of a project aimed at promoting sustainable fishing and strengthening the local fishing production chain. My activities included project development, resource management, budget control, and compliance with guidelines established by regulatory

As Project Manager for the Municipality of Arraial do Cabo, I develop and coordinate initiatives aimed at the local community, promoting sustainable fishing practices, conservation and environmental preservation. My efforts are directed towards the implementation of public policies that aim to preserve marine ecosystems, ensuring the sustainability of fishing activities and the protection of biodi

This consultancy was carried out for the Arraial do Cabo Marine Extractive Reserve (RESEXMAR-AC)/ICMBio, with the aim of correlating the impacts of tourism on the extractive community of traditional fishermen in the region. This work guided public policies aimed at conservation, preservation and promotion of sustainable environmental and social development.

I work as a volunteer in different sectors of the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (PARNASO), in Rio de Janeiro, developing expeditions, research, and providing veterinary support as needed. In 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, I was responsible for developing and executing the park's reopening plan, ensuring the application of health protocols.

During my PhD, I developed research focused on the concept of One Health, exploring the relationship between human, animal and environmental health. My work involved the detection of pathogens in wild and domestic animals in Conservation Units, using advanced parasitological diagnostic and molecular biology techniques.

During my master's degree, I deepened my studies in the area of molecular biology and applied parasitology, developing innovative methodologies for DNA extraction from ectoparasites. My research focused on optimizing accessible techniques for diagnosing parasites, ensuring greater accuracy and viability in different laboratory contexts.

During my multidisciplinary residency, I worked to promote public health, focusing on zoonoses and public health, providing information to underprivileged communities and carrying out awareness-raising activities on diseases transmitted by animals. In addition, I was responsible for conducting parasitological diagnostics in veterinary hospitals, improving laboratory techniques and collaborating wi

My duties ranged from animal health maintenance and management to the execution of the main experiments, team management, data collection and analysis statistics, team training and design and execution of research projects. As we work with the main companies in the world market, I was also responsible for visits by industry representatives to the laboratory facilities.

Activities and societies: Collaborated with ICMBio on environmental conservation strategies and the impact of human activities on biodiversity. This experience consolidated expertise in the interface between scientific research and public policies for the preservation of fauna and public health.

Conducted research on ticks and pathogens in wild animals and domestic dogs in the Atlantic Forest biome, focusing on the One Health concept. Utilized advanced parasitological diagnostic and molecular biology techniques to detect pathogens and assess zoonotic risks.

Completed a comprehensive program in Veterinary Medicine, covering various aspects of animal health, disease, and welfare. Acquired foundational knowledge and practical skills essential for veterinary practice.
