With over a decade of educational experience spanning prestigious institutions in Brazil and the US, I am a seasoned educator and social scientist committed to unraveling the complexities of human behavior and society. My journey began as a linguist, and my expertise in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies has grown steadily over the years to incorporate insights from different fiends across the sociobehavioral sciences, humanities, and post structural philosophy.Through the lens of sociocultural linguistics, I decode language and interactions, revealing profound insights into societal influences, communicative dynamics, and human relationships. My toolbox includes qualitative skills such as critical thinking, discourse/conversation, sociobehavioral interviewing, and microinteractional analysis, while I excel in quantitative research through experimental designs, survey management, and statistical analyses.As an advocate for social justice, I channel my passion into projects that explore socio-interactional behaviors, cross-cultural communication, identity dynamics, and representation. My leadership roles have shaped my commitment to growth, as I mentor students in research and design impactful learning environments and experiences.
