Birthplace: Brazil

I am currently a PhD student in Linguistics at the Graduate Program of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese and Japanese from the University of São Paulo (USP) and a Master's degree in Linguistics from UNICAMP (CNPq scholarship holder). I studied Japanese language and culture at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies in Japan as a MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan) scholarship recipient.For my masters research, I conducted a longitudinal study of an individual with aphasia learning Japanese as a second language and explored its possible effects on their native language.Currently, my doctoral research focuses on the acquisition of nominal possessive structures in monolingual Brazilian Portuguese-speaking children, analyzing their syntactic development in interface with semantics. For my field exam, I developed a study on the teaching of Japanese nominal possessive structures as a foreign language (JFL), analyzing two textbooks: Marugoto and Irodori.I am also a ZuKOnnect Fellow at the University of Konstanz, Germany, where I worked on the acquisition of syntactic structures in children with autism who speak different languages: German, English, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese.My research interests include first and second language acquisition, atypical language development, bilingualism/multilingualism, contrastive linguistic analysis, and psycholinguistics.
