RESEARCH INTEREST

​

My present research project analyses agency in Amazonian forest governance, through mechanisms of concentration and distribution of natural resources as well as material and symbolic power relations. I focus my empirical work on the MAP triple-frontier region, which gathers the states of Madre de Dios in Peru, Acre in Brazil and Pando in Bolivia, collaboratively working within the project Amazonian Governance to Enable Transformations to Sustainability (AGENTS). I hold a MSc degree in Geography from the Stockholm University (2017) and a BA in International Relations from the Pontifical Catholic University from of Rio de Janeiro (2011). I have held previous positions at the Brazilian Mission to the UN, in Geneva, the Worldwatch Institute, in Washington DC, and most recently at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), in Brasilia, as a researcher and project manager. My broad field of inquiry is related to land use dynamics in the Amazon and the Cerrado, sustainability in supply-chains, multistakeholder governance, socio-ecological resilience and environmental governance.
