About
I am a conservation ecologist with an interest in population ecology and management of threatened species and their habitat. I am interest in how populations interact with the environment after landscape changes and how management interventions can help the persistence of populations.
I have worked on many threatened species projects in various ecosystems in Brazil and Australia (e.g. Red-billed Curassow, Lear’s Macaw, Restinga Tyrannulet, Carnaby’s Cockatoo, Orange-bellied Parrot, Swift parrot).
In 2014, I completed my Masters in Zoology at the University of São Paulo in Brazil where I investigated population parameters and habitat selection by the endangered red-billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii).
In 2015, I joined the Difficult Bird Research Group at the Australian National University on a training program as a research assistant where I collaborated across several projects on Tasmanian birds.
In 2017, I started a PhD at the Research School of Biology. For my PhD, I studied the Conservation and management of the endangered forty-spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus). My research on forty-spotted pardalotes focused on filling research gaps to inform management.
