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 Cortês 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. Throughout her undergraduate studies, Nami actively sought further training in different fauna groups (bats, birds, and amphibians), volunteering as a field assistant in graduate research projects. Between 2023 and 2025, she had the opportunity to assist and teach "bat watching" activities and theoretical and practical mini-courses on the ecology and biology of bats in the Biological Sciences and Ecology courses at UNESP. She recently completed the introductory theoretical and practical course “Women & Terrestrial Fauna”, which provides training in monitoring and inventorying terrestrial fauna, and a year ago she began working on personal projects involving scientific dissemination (especially about bats), combining biology, art and pop culture.
