As an architect and urban planner, I am committed to exploring new approaches to research and teaching techniques. My work has been recognized globally, as I was shortlisted for the Reimagine Education Awards in 2015 in the Teacher Delivery category. I am also a proud American Institute of Architects (AIA) member, a professional network providing valuable connections and opportunities. Currently, I serve as a Researcher Fellow at UFRJ, where I earned my Master's (2007) and Doctorate (2020) degrees.
