I have a PhD in Social Anthropology from UNICAMP, Brazil, where I also got my master’s in Social Anthropology and B.A. in Social Sciences. My scholarship focused mainly on hunger, public policies, and the State. I was a visiting scholar at the University of Barcelona (2013-2014) and at the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley (2018-2019). I have experience working for NGOs on housing projects, sustainable strategies, social technologies, environmental education, and community engagement. I also worked as a consultant for public and private sector clients and was formerly an Assistant Professor at University of Goiás (UFG), in Brazil. Furthermore, my research on public policies and low-income communities allowed the development of a myriad of projects related to the pandemic and its effects on vulnerable populations. Currently, I am a Social Sciences Researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA, working as a policy analyst and sociotechnical researcher, focusing primarily in energy justice and equity.Doutora em Antropologia Social pela Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP (20222).
