Since I was young I always wanted to work close to #nature, in my first specific technical training still in high school I went to study agriculture and livestock.Soon after completing, I worked for six years developing #sustainable agriculture, management, inspection, and environmental education and started my first steps with ecological research.I was already passionate about nature, after nine years studying and working with nature only brought me more certain that I would continue on this path, that's when I decided to take the biology course.In college, in the first months, I tried to continue with ecological research, during the period I performed three scientific initiations with fish biology, oceanography on beaches, and ecological anatomy of trees. After this period I worked for a year on a timber identification project helping the inspection agencies to combat the illegal trade of Native Brazilian timber.The following year I started my master's degree in the course of plant biodiversity and environment, two wonderful years where I could learn much more about nature and forests. I started my Ph.D. a few years later, because before that I was taking care of my daughter and helping my wife finish her master's degree, were wonderful years taking care of my two girls.I started my Ph.D. industrial-academic in biotechnology, during this period I was able to learn a lot and had the opportunity to expand my knowledge as I always wanted, I was able to study physics and chemistry as well.During this period I had the pleasure of helping many people, including my wife with her Ph.D., with plant transgenics.Although I helped many people finish their projects, I ended up terminating my Ph.D. before defending it, because I always sought to accomplish my purposes, and at the end of the studies I discovered serious problems with the research that would harm the final result for the delivery of a product to the company, as there was no time for changes and Would not like to deliver any results just to obtain the title of Ph.D., I left in the last year of study.I don't regret what I did, because it was a period of much learning and I wouldn't feel good about doing anything just to conclude.Today I am following my purpose, working to help society achieve sustainability and thus be able to give a future to my daughter.
