Your will to contribute to social change is my inspiration and motivation.

I get inspired by the work developed by the organizations I partner with.

They each have been sensitized by the same things that I am and decided there was a way to use their efforts, time, knowledge, and will to promote social change: reduce inequalities, limit climate change, promote equity, among many other transversal causes. 

They each have built programs and projects, and sustained unique approaches to deliver what a population needs most. 

Finding ways to improve their results is what I love most.

Do our
values align?

Firm delicacy and empathy are at the core of every daily action I take.

​

I work and live with enthusiasm, intention and clear communication.

​​

I work and live with curiosity, which allow me to value each individual's experiences and partner with organizations working in a myriad of knowledge fields.​

​

Creativity whilst sticking to methodological rigor is what allows me to develop research and evaluation design that will lead to reports that respond to my clients' needs. 

 

I am guided by research, evaluation and facilitation practices that promote racial and gender equity, social justice, and socio-environmental sustainability.

​

I am also always concerned with contributing to the education of the next generation of research and evaluation professionals in the field, which leads me to include training undergraduates in every opportunity I can.

I've worked in (almost) every industry...

and (almost) everywhere.

I love the dynamic of diving into different fields of knowledge! I have worked on evaluations related to education, health, environment, food systems, freedom of speech, technology, and so many other topics. 

One of the greatest assets of being a humanities researcher is our toolbox, with countless methodologies, resources and our creativity that allow us to dive deep into many subjects.
​I thrive from designing research or evaluations, having the opportunity to collect and analyze large qualitative datasets, and tailoring the best report for my clients and report users.

I have a master's degree in Sociology from the University of São Paulo (USP), and I graduated in Social Sciences from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP). I also studied Urban Sociology at the Université Paris Nanterre (Paris X).

 

Work experience started in socio-environmental studies, developing environmental impact statements (EIS), and I quickly entered the Monitoring and Evaluation world. I have conducted evaluation and research for several organizations in the private and public sectors.
