DSc candidate in Botany

Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia

She has a degree in Forestry Engineering from the Universidade do Estado do Amapá (UEAP) and a Master’s degree in Botany from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). She is currently studying for a PhD in Botany at INPA and a degree in Biological Sciences at IBRA College. She recently worked as a DTI-A Fellow (CNPq) in the research group Ecology, Monitoring and Sustainable Use of Wetlands (MAUA-INPA), in which she gained experience with floristic inventories; botanical identification; and functional traits of tree species in Amazonian ecosystems. During her first degree, she worked as a collaborator for four years on research projects carried out by Embrapa Amapá, where she gained experience with epidemiological aspects of plant-pathogen interaction; morphological and physiological aspects of seeds and seedling growth of tree species; and ecology and forest management for the multiple use of floodplain forests in the Amazonian estuary.
