Nami is an undergraduate student in Biological Sciences at the São Paulo State University (UNESP) at the Rio Claro Institute of Biosciences, and is a member of the  ReSeeD Lab, where she is developing her Scientific Initiation project entitled “Frugivorous bat species and their potential role as seed dispersers in secondary forests of the Atlantic Forest”, under the supervision of Prof. Marina Corrêa Côrtes. She is the treasurer of the Academic League of Chiropterology (LAQ) and is a member of the outreach group Ernest Haeckel Center for Scientific Illustration (NICEH). Throughout his undergraduate studies, she actively sought further training in the fields of chiropterology, ornithology, and herpetology by volunteering as a field assistant on graduate research projects. Since 2023, she has been assisting with and teaching theoretical and practical mini-courses on bats for the Biological Sciences and Ecology programs at UNESP Rio Claro. In 2025, she completed the introductory theoretical-practical course Women and Terrestrial Fauna, which provides training in monitoring and inventorying terrestrial fauna at Intervales State Park, and for the past two years she has been developing research projects and personal projects focused on Environmental Education, Science Communication, and Scientific Illustration (with a focus on bats), combining biology, art, and pop culture (@namink.pn).
