Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go-to font for titles, paragraphs & more.

As a biologist and researcher, I am interested in gathering natural history information and in understanding the effects of landscape variations on vertebrates. I have started my career at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) studying anuran natural history. After graduating in Biological Sciences, I worked as technician at the Chico Mendes Institute (ICMBio) during 2012, where I took part in the assessment of the conservation status of Brazilian snake species and participated in the publication of the red book of Brazilian threatened species, published in 2018. Later, I acquired my MSc in Animal Biology (also at UNESP). 

Although my dissertation focused on  the ecology and natural history of a snake assemblage from the Atlantic  Forest in the Southeast region of Brazil, I also investigated the same topics of the local amphibian assemblage. During my Ph.D. in Applied Ecology (at Universidade de São Paulo), I investigated the relationship between vegetation complexity and the diversity of Squamates in an area of the Cerrado. Shortly after finishing my doctorate,  I founded Herp Trips, a company that provides extension courses applied to herpetology. I also joined the team of two great magazines, Ubuntu and  Paws Trails Explorers, aiming to spread the word about biodiversity conservation throughout the world. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Lodz University. In this last project, I have been investigating the differences in skull shape between two amphibian species from the Pantepui region using geometric morphometrics.
