I work on building bridges between tropical territories and agendas that seek to redefine the future of sustainability.

My career path spans different worlds: large corporations, applied research, civil society organizations, and territorial initiatives built alongside communities.

Over the past few years, I have been working at the intersection of bioeconomy, food systems, conservation, and territorial development, connecting field practice, facilitation, and institutional engagement.

Currently, I collaborate with organizations, networks, and initiatives focused on regenerative development and socio-environmental innovation, including projects developed with the Instituto Fronteiras do Desenvolvimento (IFD).

My work is based between Brazil and Europe, connecting research, facilitation, strategy, and the development of initiatives at different scales.
