Bachelor of Biotechnology from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar/CCA), Master of Science from the University of São Paulo (USP/CENA) and an MBA in Business Management from USP (Pecege). As an undergraduate, I received a Scientific Initiation scholarship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), developing projects in the areas of Toxicology and Conservation of native bees in Brazil and helping to organize events to publicize the topic. During my master's degree, also funded by FAPESP and CAPES, I worked with Molecular Biology on the Plant-Pathogen interaction (S. lycopersicum x M. perniciosa), with a focus on the role of microRNAs and their targets in this interaction, more specifically microRNA156 and its targets. I also developed my MBA with my final project focused on marketing and communication. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Dundee (Scotland, United Kingdom), funded by The East of Scotland Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (EASTBio), where I work with molecular biology and microbiology in plant-pathogen interactions, however, now the focus is more on the development of the pathogen and understanding the virulence process.Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=JP2V3UoAAAAJhl=enORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0527-4484 (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
