What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cannabinoid therapy programs, develop digital patient-monitoring solutions, mentor clinicians, and contribute to research within collaborative, innovation-driven teams.

I am a clinical pharmacist and scientific consultant with over 10 years of experience in cannabinoid medicine, regulatory affairs, and digital health, contributing to pharmacoepidemiological and pharmacoeconomic research and developing patient monitoring tools and clinical protocols in Brazil and the UK.

I design and implement clinical guidance, training programs, and digital solutions that improve care quality and decision-making, and I provide technical support to prescribers and patients while producing scientific content, e-learning materials, and telemedicine-focused innovations.
