Education
I am a Biologist graduated from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I am currently a phD student in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program at Rice University, Houston, Texas.
Other interests
In my downtime, I manage to occupy my time in a number of ways:
I am a birdwatcher, and I keep a list of the bird species I have seen in my lifetime. It is currently sitting at 545 ! My secret life goal is to observe every Toucan species in the wild.
I have interest in the genetics of color pattern determination in Guppies, and integrated the technical board for the Brazilian Fancy Guppy Association (CCG-UCAB). I bred fancy guppies for several years, nut this passion is currently set aside as this requires space and time- something a phD student does not have.
Finally, I play some games when time allows, being a big fan of the Pokémon and Diablo franchises.
