Currently a PhD candidate in Zoology at the University of São Paulo. Has experience in the fields of biological oceanography and ecology, working on topics such as vertebrate genetics, habitat use, molecular ecology, and phylogeography. Researches genetic diversity, connectivity, and hybridization of sea turtles; also uses stable isotopes for studies on habitat use and connectivity. I also work with population genomics and adaptive selection of insular snakes.
