Welcome! I am an ecologist and evolutionary biologist with over 10 years of experience in research, teaching, and consultancy. My research focuses on understanding aquatic biodiversity across ecological and evolutionary scales, combining field ecology, molecular biology, and data science to investigate how species evolve, interact, and respond to environmental change. My experience also involves teaching in various formal and informal settings, reviewing and editing academic texts, as well as programming and the application of emerging technologies to ecological research.

I am a Senior Aquatic Ecologist at Ecological Service Professionals. My recent work has focused on biodiversity monitoring, ecological modelling, environmental DNA (eDNA), and genomics, including the application of molecular and computational tools to biodiversity assessments and environmental management, habitat suitability modelling for conservation and restoration, and improving jellyfish identification and monitoring. I earned my PhD from Griffith University, Australia (2019 - 2023), my MSc in Zoology from the University of São Paulo, Brazil (2016 - 2018), and my BSc in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil (2009 - 2015).
