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 Master's degree in Animal Biology (also at UNESP).
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.
Although my dissertation focused on the ecology and natural history of snakes, I also investigated the same topics of the local amphibian assemblage, in an area of the Atlantic Forest of the Southeast region of Brazil. 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. In my most recent research project, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Lodz University, where I investigated skull shape differences between two amphibian species from the Pantepui region using geometric morphometrics. Currently, I am teaching science at a middle school funded by the São Paulo state government in Brazil.
