I hold a Bachelor's degree in Geology from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) (2009), a Teaching Degree in Geosciences and Environmental Education from the University of São Paulo (USP) (2023), a Master's degree in Geosciences from UNICAMP (2011), and a Ph.D. in Sciences from UNICAMP (2016). Additionally, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at USP in 2020. Currently, I am an undergraduate student in Public Health at the School of Public Health, University of São Paulo (enrolled in 2024), as well as a postgraduate student specializing in Special and Inclusive Education. In my professional career, I served as a temporary lecturer at USP (20192020) in the Department of Sedimentary and Environmental Geology. I have also taught science, biology, and chemistry at both middle and high school levels. I was a tenured middle school teacher at the São Paulo City Hall (20242025). Presently, I work with the Epidemiological Surveillance Division of the Municipal Health Secretariat of São Paulo (SMS-SP). I have experience in applied Geographic Information Systems (GIS), specifically with QGIS and ArcGIS. My main areas of specialization include Paleobotany, Sedimentary Geology, Field Geology, and Geostatistics. Within the field of public health, I have an interest in descriptive epidemiology and am currently developing a spatial analysis project involving oncology patients in the state of São Paulo. Since 2016, I have also been a mother to Nina. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
