I have been a terrestrial biologist since 1995. I worked with herpetofauna in the Atlantic and Amazon rainforest, with monitoring, surveys and environmental studies from 2000 to 2016. I have been falling in love with marine biology since I started diving in 2015, so I started attending and doing disciplines at the Oceanographic Institute since 2017. So, I got my doctorate at the beginning of 2019, with the title: “Environmental Quality of Reef Communities of Brazilian Ocean Islands: A Comparative Assessment -(PELD ILOC - Long-term Monitoring of Reef Communities of the Brazilian Ocean Islands)”
