Hi! Here you can find everything about my Political Science career.
I hold bachelor and master degrees in Political Science from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), in Recife, Brazil. I've worked with many scholars and colleagues on Migration, my main topic of interest, as well as internal displacement and populism. You can learn more about these projects below or through the CV above. You can also access my Master Thesis on the university repository at the top.
Besides academia, I am interested in data analysis and the third sector. I worked at a foundation dedicated to child health and philanthropy research, and developed surveys to study public opinion and behavior about donation. I also worked for the Pernambuco state government, collecting and analyzing public policy data on culture.
