I am a bachelor in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Federal do Rio de
Janeiro (UFRJ). My experience as undergrad includes 4 years at the laboratory of
Cnidaria - UFRJ,participating in several works focusing on corals that occur at the
coast of Brazil. Asgraduated in Biological Sciences, I had a large experience
teaching biology to students from different ages. Still as undergrad (2014-2015),
I went in exchange program fo one year, where I studied biology at the University of
Pisa - Italy.

In 2017, I started my master’s degree in ecology at the UFRJ. My project focuses on a
comparative study of the nutritional ecology and feeding behavior of the three species of
surgeonfishes, abundant along the Brazilian coast.
