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 Immigration, my main topic of interest, and developed research about Human Rights, Populism and Conflict, especially related to Migration Governance. You can learn more about these works and achievements 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 human behavior about donation. I also worked for the Pernambuco state government, collecting and analyzing public policy data on culture.
