Ph.D. Candidate Internship at Harvard University (2022 - 2023, ongoing project)
The last year of my Ph.D. degree was in association with the Pierce Lab in the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Harvard University. I was able to learn skills as CT Scan, dice CT Scan, digital dissection/segmentation techniques for both skeleton and soft tissue materials. See more at: PierceLab/Alumni
Ph.D. Student at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (2019 - 2023, ongoing project)
My Ph.D. was focused in Zoology, in association with the Laboratório de Evolução de Mamíferos (Mammal Evolution Lab), where I was able to develop skills as physical mammal dissection, comparative anatomy and morphology, phylogenetic comparative methods and teaching.

Graduate certificate: Teaching Bio Sciences and Health at Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (2016-2018)
Concomitantly with my Master's degree focused on research, I also graduate with a Bio Sciences and Health teaching degree, where I developed techniques as how to create more intuitive classes and incite the critical thinking and active learning.
Master's student at Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (2015 - 2017)
During my Master's degree, I learned linear and geometric morphometrics, basic statistics and programming. My project was based on dry museum specimens, with a database of almost 1000 samples representing all marsupials, collected in several mammal collections from Brazil, Australia and USA.
Undergraduate student at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (2011 - 2015)
My undergraduate course was in Biological Sciences, with emphasis in Zoology. Since my second semester, I was already an internship in Museu Nacional/UFRJ (National Museum of Brazil), learning mammal taxidermy and basic dissection. After my second year, I started my first research project with marsupial morphology, age and reproduction.
