I grew up seeing the field labour with great admiration for those who did it. I learned from my parents about the weight and value of a hoe and a screwdriver, which ensured me the determination to do my best and value my work tool. I am curious and a researcher of solutions involving sustainability, creativity in solving environmental problems and the seek for a better way of doing things, without having to reinvent the wheel.I started doing research during my undergraduate studies and fell in love with it, which led me to pursue my master’s degree. During my master's, I delved deeper into English and Spanish studies, primarily focusing on improving my scientific paper writing. Researching pollinating flies during my master's degree drove me towards investigations in the field of agriculture and ignited in me a passion for biological control agents for agricultural pests: discovering them in the field, working on them at the bench, potential assessment, development, behaviour, taxonomic and morphologic research, activities that came to be carried out in the doctorate.Believing in the constant need to update the different scenarios that involve agriculture, I decided to enrol in an MBA in Agribusiness, which gave me an aptitude for people, and business management, in addition to knowledge about the processes that involve food production and trade: planting and pre-planting, harvesting, storage, logistics, transportation and marketing.Today, I consider myself a researcher faithful to defending the needs of nature, capricious and attentive to details. I aim for a career that is equally faithful to my purpose of working towards modern and sustainable end-to-end agriculture.
