I am from Embu Guaçu, a city in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. My academic career in mathematics began with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Teaching (2008), followed by a master’s degree (2011) and a doctorate (2014) in Mathematics. I furthered my research as a visiting doctoral student at the University of Colorado, Denver, in 2013, and returned for a postdoctoral fellowship in 2014.
I spent four years as a university professor in Brazil and Chile. This is my first year as a middle school teacher. Outside of school, my hobbies include watching movies and spending time with my family and friends.
