I hold a B.Sc. in Forest Engineering from the Universidade do Estado do Amapá (UEAP) and an M.Sc. and D.Sc. in Botany from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA).

During my undergraduate studies, I collaborated for four years on research projects at Embrapa Amapá, where I acquired experience in plant-pathogen interaction epidemiology, morphological and physiological aspects of seeds, seedling growth of tree species, and forest ecology and management for the sustainable use of floodplain forests in the Amazon estuary.

Recently, I worked as a research fellow funded by CNPq (DTI-A) in the Ecology, Monitoring, and Sustainable Use of Wetlands (MAUA group) at INPA, where I gained experience in floristic inventories, botanical identification, and collecting functional trait data for tree species in Amazonian ecosystems.

I am an associate researcher at INPA’s Seed Lab, where I have been conducting and co-supervising morphological and taxonomic studies on Amazonian Sapotaceae, Lecythidaceae, and Copaifera (Leguminosae) since 2015. I am currently working on a taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Ecclinusa (Sapotaceae).

Additionally, I am preparing to initiate the Spectra Pop project at the INPA herbarium, a collaboration between FAPEAM/INPA/MAUA/KIT/IDSM.

My main research interests include taxonomy and systematics (with a focus on Neotropical Sapotaceae), Amazonian tree flora, spectroscopy as a tool for tree species identification, species distribution modeling, floristic studies, and forest ecology.
