About

I am an investigative reporter and 2023 IWMF Elizabeth Neuffer Fellow. I have a decade of professional experience and have worked in scriptwriting, documentary production, and research. In 2019, I studied computational journalism, international affairs, and international investigations at Columbia University in the City of New York as a visiting scholar, with a scholarship granted by the Jornalista de Visão program from Instituto Ling.

My works have been published by The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC News Brasil, UOL, and Folha de S.Paulo.  

At The Washington Post, I was part of the team that received the Overseas Press Club's Robert Spiers Benjamin Award for best reporting on Latin America for the investigative series "Amazon, Undone," a project led by Terrence McCoy.

I was also on the team awarded the Grande Prêmio UOL de Conteúdo for the podcast "A Vida Secreta de Jair," for which I contributed with research and script. The team also received the Prêmio Claudio Weber de Jornalismo de Dados in the same year for the story "Anatomia da Rachadinha." UOL published both stories.

In 2015, I was awarded the Roche Health Journalism Prize from the Gabriel García Márquez New Iberoamerican Journalism Foundation for investigating legal abortion in Brazil. I co-authored the story, published in 2014 by Agencia Pública, with Anna Beatriz Anjos and Natacha Cortêz.

I am a native Portuguese speaker with proficiency in English and Spanish. I also have elementary coding skills in Python and R.
