During my undergraduate in Oceanography, especifically in 2011 and 2012, I had the opportunity to be a scientific initiation fellow within the project “Sea Level on the Brazilian Coast: Past Variations and Prediction by Climate Models”, at the Laboratory of Physical Oceanography, Climate and Cryosphere - USP. Furthermore, in 2013 I did an internship at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Recife, participating in a fieldwork at Reserva Biológica Atol das Rocas/RN to collect data through visual census by free diving within the project “Characterization of the ichthyofauna and behavioral ecology of the main families of Atol das Rocas/RN”. Still, in the same place, I did my final course work with visual census to evaluate the relative abundance of lemon sharks at Lama Bay, Rocas Atoll, Brazil, within the project “Abundance and movement patterns of the lemon shark, Negaprion brevirostris, in Baía da Lama, Biological Reserve of Atol das Rocas/RN, Brazil”. In 2016, I spent four months at the Australian Institute of Marine Science, Perth, working on whale shark project. I used a pattern-matching software (called Interactive Individual Identification Software - I3S) to update a photographic database of whale sharks sighted at Ningaloo between 1992-2013 and participated in fieldwork at Ningaloo Marine Park on a whale shark survey where the photo records of the individual ID patterns were captured. Also, support in the whale shark collecting data using stereo- video (DOV) and tissue samples for genetic and isotopic analysis. During two years (2017 to 2019) I did my master in Biological Oceanography at Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, using baited remote underwater video (BRUV) to evaluate ichthyofauna off Recife, Pernambuco, within the project “Composition of the fish assemblage in the Metropolitan Region of Recife: a new technique using BRUVS (Baited Remote Underwater Video Station)”. Financial support was provided by Paul G. Allen Philantropies within “Global FinPrint” project. In 2014 and 2023, I was part of the oceanographic cruise during 3 days to collect abiotic and biotic data around Alcatrazes Archipelago. The biotic data consisted on bottom drag to evaluate demersal ichthyofauna and the abiotic data consisted on CTD profiles and Secchi disk measurements. In 2014 on board the research vessel "Alpha Delphini" and in 2023 on board the research vessel "Soloncy Moura" (ICMBio/CEPSUL). Currently, I am field operation manager for the project “Mar de Alcatrazes: Monitoring of invertebrates, fish and abiotic factors in the marine environment of the Alcatrazes Archipelago, north coast of the State of São Paulo”, focusing in the abiotic data at Laboratory Aquarela in Center for Marine Biology, University of São Paulo, overseeing all logistics and instruments for the field campaigns, visiting Alcatrazes archipelago frequently to install and retrieve moored sensors and complement the datasets with CTD, fluorimeter, and radiometer profilers. Also, I am responsible for basic data processing.

South Atlantic Ocean

I am accurate, willing to learn, very organised, hardworking, dependable, motivated and creative. I have experience with oceanographic cruise, physical oceanographic instruments like CTD, fluorometer and radiometer and basic data processing using R, Python and QGIS. Also, I have experience with megafauna fieldwork (specially elasmobranch), diving and marine ecology, specially using BRUVs.
