I am marine biologist from the Tupi-Guarani lands in Brazil, and currently work and live in the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. As an early-career environmental researcher, I have experience in community-based sustainability, Indigenous-led food security, and coastal climate resilience strategies. My research focuses on how costal Indigenous communities respond to cumulative impacts and plan their adaptation outcomes, combining academic research, fieldwork, and knowledge translation. My work spans across Brazil, Canada, and Colombia, where I have conducted research on fisheries, marine ecosystems, and climate adaptation strategies. I recent graduated as a MSc in Environmental Studies at University of Victoria, working also closely with First Nations Health Authority, Skidegate Band Council in Haida Gwaii, and Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) to document climate adaptation strategies and sustainability practices. My goal is to bridge science and local knowledge to support sustainable ocean solutions and strategies.
