I grew up on the Brazilian coast and have always been fascinated by the oceans. This interest and curiosity led me to move to Australia to pursue a career in biology. In 2015 I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Science at UWA. I bring my passion and commitment for marine conservation into my role as Communications and Data Manager.  I organise the Marine Futures Lab outreach and communications programme, sharing our findings to the broader community through our media channels, organizing public talks, and coordinating other community engagement. I curate our expanding database of information on reef and pelagic wildlife assemblages and develop informative graphics representing our data through maps. I also assist with expedition requirements, including permits.
