Profile

I am a PhD candidate in Global Health and Sustainability (University of São Paulo, USP) and project coordinator in the third sector, leading socio-environmental initiatives on social justice, sociobioeconomy, and biodiversity conservation. My background is in International Relations (UNESP) and I have a technical qualification in Nursing (Centro Paula Souza). I am a former FAPESP-funded researcher on international recommendations for health responses to socio-environmental disasters, focusing on Brumadinho.

I coordinated the outreach project Healthy and Sustainable Cities on urban environmental health public policy, and the project International Relations and the Novel Coronavirus at the International Relations Laboratory (LabRI). My research interests include Global Health, the geopolitics of knowledge, environment, and human rights.
