Biography

As a researcher, I have had the privilege of working and conducting research with scientists and researchers from around the globe. I am grateful for the courage that has guided me on my scientific journey and brought me to where I am today. Facing challenges has given me the insight to find better alternatives and solutions.

Research synopsis

My research focuses on mapping and studying the Amazon Rainforest, with a particular interest in the lives of indigenous people who live there. I explore how the rainforest supports their livelihoods by providing resources for small, environmentally friendly products made from fruits and wood, which do not harm the ecosystem. Coming from a small community myself, I am committed to expanding my understanding and exploring more about the Indigenous communities of the Amazon.
