I have co-founded and am currently the Executive Director at Rede A Ponte, a network of women from academia and the public sector focused on supporting elected women. Our goal is to promote evidence-based policies and strengthen role models to attract more women into Politics.

I am an Economist (PhD, PUC-Rio, 2022). My academic research is broadly related to Development Economics and Public Policy. I have an agenda on sustainable agriculture, and public service delivery in Brazil (gender-based violence) and Mozambique (health). Additionally, I have research on political accountability (through political protests) and political representation.

My thesis received the 2023 CAPES Award for Best Thesis.

I was a visiting student at UC Berkeley, as a Fulbright fellow (academic year 2021-2022).
