About
I was born and raised in Brazil. I was always fascinated by nature and how every living thing appeared to be connected. My passion from biology started there. After getting my B.S. degree in agriculture I decided to work with plant pathology after doing an internship in the field. I really enjoy the fact that plant pathologists can work closely with growers and help them solve or ease complex threats posed by pathogens.

Education
I have a B.S. degree in agriculture and a M.Sc. in plant pathology from the University of São Paulo.

Research
My research focus on the development, validation, and optimization of decision-support systems used in plant disease management. These systems aim to facilitate disease management by highlighting critical periods for disease management.
