What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration in product development.

I am an R&D engineer with over six years of experience in the consumer goods sector, particularly in cosmetics and food. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Universidade Estadual Paulista, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving. Currently, I serve as a Senior Coordinator at Unilever, where I lead consumer insights and claims initiatives, ensuring our products meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in conducting qualitative and quantitative tests, preparing technical documentation, and collaborating closely with marketing and R&D teams. My role involves not only analyzing sensory characteristics and supporting fragrance trials but also drafting and approving texts in compliance with current legislation. I pride myself on my ability to stay updated on scientific and technological advances, which allows me to contribute effectively to product development and marketing strategies.

In addition to my corporate experience, I have also managed a successful social media profile focused on pop culture, engaging with over 400,000 followers on Twitter and 20,000 on Instagram. This role has enhanced my understanding of consumer behavior and marketing dynamics, further complementing my professional expertise in the consumer goods industry.
