With advanced degrees in Geography and Territorial Management, she combines academic rigor with practical expertise in spatial analysis and environmental studies. Her professional profile includes affiliations with multidisciplinary research centers like the Center for Geographical Studies, focusing on the intersection of territorial dynamics and ecological health.

• Mestrado em Educação Geográfica (2022)
• Doutoramento em Geografia (2019)
• Mestrado em Gestão Territorial e Estudos Urbanos (2011)
• Licenciatura em Geografia (2008)

Her research spans Geography, Environmental Science, and Wildlife Parasitology, with recent publications analyzing zoonotic parasites in mammals, birds, and reptiles. Articles focus on molecular characterization, disease transmission dynamics, and eco-epidemiological patterns across Portugal and Brazil. She employs advanced genomic tools and spatial modeling to address public health and conservation challenges.

Her scientific work bridges geographic analysis with veterinary parasitology, examining:

• Zoonotic risk mapping
• Molecular diagnostics of animal pathogens
• Environmental contamination pathways
• Wildlife rehabilitation health protocols
• Phylogenetic relationships in parasitic species
• Geographic disease distribution patterns
