About |
Driven by my passion for biodiversity, I pursued studies in both biology and microbiology, which eventually led me to the captivating Amazon Rainforest. Here, I was given the opportunity to learn from other forms of knowledge which allowed me to navigate the complexities of this forest. Over time, I realized that biodiversity when used as a verb, could initiate meaningful dialogues with native communities. I strongly believe that by bridging scientific and local knowledge, we can create innovative solutions to foster symbiosis between economic, environmental, and social values.
