"I am a rising researcher, dedicated to interdisciplinary exploration, driven by a fascination with Archaeology, Museology, and Social Sciences. Currently immersed in the undergraduate program in Social Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP), I serve as a Scientific Initiation scholarship holder in the compelling project 'Museological Dialogues and Transits Portugal-Brazil/ Brazil-Portugal.' In this research, I delve into the analysis of Brazilian archaeological collections in Portuguese museums, actively collaborating with the Museum of Natural History and Science (University of Porto) and the Municipal Museum Santos Rocha (University of Figueira da Foz).I also participated as a researcher (FAPESP) in establishing a reference collection of phytoliths for LabMicro at the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (MAE-USP), known as RefTropica. Engaging in initiatives like the 'Windows to the Biodiversity of the Lower Amazon,' I contribute to understanding paleoenvironmental issues, dietary habits, and cultivation practices of ancient populations in that region.Beyond my academic endeavors, I have built a robust professional background as a Project Manager at Estadão, working on projects in the areas of Culture, Education, and Travel. Previously, I played an essential role at Abril, overseeing editorial projects for renowned brands.Integrating research and practical experience, I am eager to contribute to comprehending the past and present, fostering the preservation and appreciation of the diverse narratives that surround us."
