I am a biologist passionate about understanding how animals interact with their environments and respond to environmental change.

My research focuses on animal movement, behavior, spatial ecology, and wildlife conservation, with a particular interest in how human-driven environmental change influences animal behavior and its conservation implications.

Currently, I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Interdisciplinary Ecology at the University of Florida. My research explores how environmental changes influence animal movement and behavior, with a focus on how a vulnerable mammal navigates changing landscapes in the Brazilian savanna.

I hold a Master’s degree in Biodiversity and Conservation from São Carlos Federal University (Brazil), where I studied how mammalian defaunation affects the regeneration of a native palm tree in the Atlantic Forest.

Through my work, I aim to deepen our understanding of how environmental change affects animal ecology and to contribute to more effective conservation strategies.
