Biography

I am a landscape architect holding a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design from Politecnico di Milano (2022) and am currently a PhD candidate at Politecnico di Torino. My research focuses on the relationship between Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Nature-Based Solutions in the coastal regions of Brazil, particularly in communities at high risk of climate-related events. I have worked in architecture studios in Canada, Brazil, and Germany, and have collaborated with various research groups in Brazil and Italy. My interests include Nature-Based Solutions, environmental justice, co-governance, and the right to the city.
