 Brazilian journalist specializing in audience strategy, investigative reporting, and the societal impacts of artificial intelligence. Over the past several years, I have worked in two of Brazil's largest newsrooms, combining editorial judgment with data-informed audience analysis to shape coverage reaching millions of readers.

I currently work as an Audience Editor at g1, Brazil's largest digital news outlet, where I collaborate with newsroom leaders and regional teams to develop editorial strategies, analyze audience behavior, and identify emerging stories. My reporting has focused on politics, technology, climate, human rights, and digital culture, with a growing interest in AI accountability, platform governance, and algorithmic systems.

I hold a degree in Advertising and Public Relations from Faculdade Cásper Líbero and a postgraduate degree in International Journalism from PUC COGEAE. In 2025, I was selected to participate in the Social Data School at the University of Cambridge, where I received advanced training in computational methods for investigative journalism, including network analysis, Python, and critical approaches to AI and digital infrastructures.

My work has been recognized nationally, including being named one of Brazil's Most Admired Black Journalists. I am particularly interested in producing investigations that connect technology, public accountability, and democratic governance, with a focus on stories from Brazil and the Global South that resonate with international audiences.
