Currently, my area of ​​expertise is higher education in health, a field in which I have a particular passion for exploring, innovating, and leading. I am always interested in collaborations, opportunities, and challenges that allow me to contribute with innovative, efficient, and effective strategies/actions to the institution to which I am affiliated.

EDUCATION

I hold a degree in Biomedicine from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). In the health field, my academic trajectory includes a master's degree in Biological Sciences (Physiology), a doctorate in Medical Sciences, and an international postdoctoral fellowship at Yamaguchi University, Japan. My career is marked by a deep commitment to education, scientific research, and academic and professional ethics.

As an education enthusiast, I have sought to expand my academic horizons in this area. I specialize in Higher Education Teaching Methodology and have completed a new postdoctoral fellowship in education at PUCPR. Furthermore, I am the founder and leader of the Health Education Research Group (GPEDUCS), with numerous publications in national and international journals. This journey reflects my continuous effort to solidify educational concepts and skills for work in the health field.
