Read Full Bio →

Brazilian freelance journalist based in São Paulo. Master's student in Political Science at Campinas State University (Unicamp). Five-year experience as a science reporter. Before that, covered mostly local news, public policies and international affairs. Co-created and hosted a podcast called "Ciência USP".

Have you ever used a typewriter?

As a kid, I have. Not professionally, though. I'm too young for that!

What's the worst pitch you ever got?

Once I got this pitch about some subcelebrity's hairstylist. It was pretty terrible, considering I have never covered entertainment topics.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

On the streets of São Paulo, moving from one appointment to another, looking for a good place to stop and read a book or just taking a walk.
