I'm a Brazilian scientist struggling to get a place in academia. I have a PhD in Ecology and I love the nature and urban forests. I’m a Protestant Christian (Presbyterian Church of Brazil). I'm a friendly person who loves new friendships and to make jokes all the time.
I'm adventurous, friendly, careful, open-minded, easygoing, calm, attentive, creative and clever! And a little bit humble, ofc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot of fieldwork. In one of these expeditions, I escaped of a huge Brazilian snake called Jararaca. OMG, it's was terrifying. But I survived. ;D
In another fieldwork, I came across with a medium Brazilian wild feline. I also survived. God really loves me 🙌🏽
