Biography
I am an Architect and Urban Planner (Federal University of Alagoas, 2019), a Master in Architecture and Urbanism (Federal University of Bahia, 2023), and a current Ph.D. student in Planning at the University of Toronto. I specialized through the course Cities in Dispute: research, history and Social Processes with a full scholarship at City School (2022). Was a scholarship holder for the Tutorial Education Program (2014-2019) and a volunteer teacher for the State Public Schools Student Support Program (2016-2018) in Alagoas, Brazil. Throughout my bachelor’s degree, I developed several academic activities such as monitoring the Architectural Project 1 course, organizing the Architecture and Urbanism Weeks (SEMAU), organizing the Regional Meeting of PET Groups, coordinating and designing the periodical ÍMPETO (2016 and 2018), and completed an exchange at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2016) through the Top China Program. My bachelor’s thesis was selected by ArchDaily as one of the best in architecture and urbanism in 2019 among Portuguese-speaking countries. During my master’s I held a scholarship financed by the Ford Foundation for a research called “Private-militarized control regimes in popular territories and new civic engagement strategies”, coordinated by Professor Raquel Rolnik. Currently, I am engaged in researching the interplay between race, gender and urban planning, and the possibilities of creating public policies aimed at Black women and equality in Brazilian neighbourhoods.
