Graduated at Chemistry in Universidade de São Paulo - Instituto de Química de São Carlos (2004) and Master's in Analytical Chemistry by the same University, in a project that aimed to analyze DNA by microchip capillary electrophoresis and food colorants in a home made capillary electrophoreis system. Defended PhD in 2012 in Analytical Chemistry working with High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Capillary Electrophoresis and Mass Spectrometry applied to the analysis of metabolites, among them polyphenols, organic acids and sugars in grapes. Carried out a traineeship at Universidade de Córdoba, Spain, using two-dimensional electrophoresis to analyze the proteomic profile of grapes during ripening. Completed postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Chemistry of Araraquara, State University of São Paulo, Brazil, in the area of natural products, with emphasis on metabolomic analysis. She worked as substitute Professor in Chemistry Department at Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) between 2020 and 2023. She was a FAPESP TT-V technical training scholarship holder between 2023 and 2025, at the Instituto de Química de São Carlos, working in the area of #8203;#8203;natural products.
