About Me

Hi! I'm a biologist and PhD student from southern Brazil. I love being in nature, I love hiking and I love knowing different places. Mountainous and forested places are my favorites. Because of that, my research is dedicated to studying forests and the impacts of global change in the trees.

I have a kind of artistic side and I like to do everything by my own. I like cooking, brewing, gardening, recycling, crafting and all kinds of manual works. I was dancer, I pretty much like music (all kinds, but rock, blues, folk and some country are my favorites). My desire is to learn singing, but, with a great effort and step-by-step I'm beginning to play ukulele and guitalele.

In Brazil, I live with my boyfriend Matheus and our amazing dog Pandora in our apartment in Porto Alegre (Matheus is also a brazilian biologist and PhD student and studies animal behavior). But, in this year (2018-2019), we're on a great journey through Europe and North America to work on our researches. Currently, we're living in Lisbon, Portugal up to November. Matheus is doing part of his PhD thesis in University of Lisbon and I've been following him in this big opportunity to know some places in the Western Europe.

I really hope this will be a great time :)
