Since 2016 I've been a sessional instructor of philosophy at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, where I have taught multiple graduate seminars and undergraduate classes, and where I have been accredited to co-supervise undergraduate and graduate students. I have also taught at Université du Québec à Montréal since 2016 (undergraduate classes on the history of philosophy and metaethics, as well as graduate seminars on the philosophy of education and epistemology).
In 2022 I earned my PhD in philosophy from the Université du Québec à Montréal, in Canada, where I worked on the intellectual virtues in late medieval philosophy under the supervision of Prof. Claude Panaccio. My dissertation, "John Buridan on the intellectual virtues," can be found here.
I landed in Montreal after receiving an M.A. in Philosophy (2009) and an M.A. in Ethics & Society (2010), both from Fordham University, in New York City. Before that, I had received both a B.A. and a teaching license in philosophy (2005) from the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, in Brazil.

I co-edited the book Women's perspectives on ancient and medieval philosophy (Springer), with Isabelle Chouinard, Zoé McConaughey and Roxane Noël. The book came out in 2021.
I co-authored two articles which were published in The Routledge International Handbook of Engineering Ethics Education (2024), edited by Tom Børsen, Shannon Chance, Diana Adela Martin, Gunter Bombaerts, Roland Tormey, and Thomas Taro Lennerfors.
Along with Darío Perinetti (UQAM) and Manuel Vásquez Villavicencio (McMaster), I am also one of the co-authors of the Projet La Flèche, a website which offers a reconstruction of one of the most important 17th-century libraries in Europe. A short description of this massive undertaking is available here (in French).
In 2013, I was one of the founders of Fillosophie, a not-for-profit organization which was created to foster the active presence of women in philosophy and to encourage women to do research in philosophy. The project won multiple awards, including the Forces Avenir award. I co-ran it until 2017. The project was discontinued in 2022.

Dissertation title (defended in 2021): John Buridan on the epistemic virtues
Dissertation summary: The aim of my dissertation was to draw an outline of John Buridan’s views about the intellectual virtues and to foster debate on Buridan’s commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics (QNE). In order to do that, my first goal was to make some parts of Buridan’s Ethics commentary more accessible to readers by providing a working edition of the Latin text accompanied by its English translation. Each quæstio is followed by a brief exegetical examination that clarifies Buridan’s reasoning and arguments. The second part of the work, being of a synthetical nature, provides a more systematic account of each of the five intellectual virtues Buridan discusses, namely craft, understanding, knowledge, prudence and wisdom. The analyses provided rely on the QNE and other works of the Buridanian corpus, which are then compared and contrasted with views held by some of his forerunners, contemporaries, and successors.
