I am a woman of learnings
who teaches logic, philosophy and yoga.
Before my formal philosophical education, I received a 9-year ballet training. And sang in a pop rock cover band of
controversial musical qualifications.
I am a first gen whose entire higher education was supported by public policies through research scholarships
and other student benefit programs.
From early on, I always loved taking part in and organizing academic events.
My Ph.D. dissertation addresses conceptual aspects of a famous mathematical result,
the proof of the Four-Color Theorem.
The Brazilian Ministry of Education considered mine as
the Best Brazilian Philosophy Dissertation of 2014.
When I was about to get my Ph.D., I got a tenured-track job at UFRGS where I taught, mentored and advised undergraduate and graduate students.
I also trained High School teachers in interinstitutional and interdisciplinarity projects.
Starting in 2016, I have been part of collective projects aiming at reshaping the hegemonic academic patterns, both from a historical-conceptual point of view
and from a day-to-day educational perspective.
I have always devoted myself with equal vigor to teaching and researching
-including research about teaching,
and mostly in my mother tongue.
But I published a few
papers and chapters, some by myself
and some with dear co-authors.
Thanks for visiting!

FÓTON Pré-vestibulares
After obtaining my master's degree, I taught logic and philosophy in another preparatory course.
UFSM was then pioneering an interdisciplinary way of including philosophy at its entrance exams.
At FÓTON I experienced the challenge of creating new pedagogical materials from scratch, since there were no textbooks fitting the model of the philosophy exams - a mixture of questions about the history of philosophy, themes and problems ranging from ethics and political philosophy to semiotic, logic, epistemology and philosophy of science.

Práxis Pré-vestibular Popular
During my training as a teacher, I volunteered to teach philosophy in a community project developed by other students from my university, to prepare low-income people for the entrance exams. At Práxis I learned how to recruit, how to design curricula and syllabi, how to create course materials, how to work in highly interdisciplinary and collaborative teams, how to assess our pedagogical performances.
