She holds a Bachelor's degree in Agronomic Engineering from São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (2018) and an MBA in Commercial Management and Project Planning from Anhanguera Educational. She has experience in Agronomy, focusing on Soil Fertility, Plant Nutrition, and Agricultural Experimentation. She has worked on projects involving rhizobacteria in the Cerrado biome, with an emphasis on Seed Technology and Phytotechnics. She also has experience in the management and fertility of crops such as sugarcane, soybeans, corn, and beans. She is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Production Systems, focusing on Soil Fertility, Plant Nutrition, and Plant Physiology to mitigate abiotic stresses in agricultural crops.
I am an Agronomic Engineer graduated from UNESP and currently a Ph.D. candidate in Agronomy, specializing in Production Systems. During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to complete three scientific initiation projects—two in the area of Plant Breeding and one in Soil Fertility—which provided me with a solid foundation and a great learning experience in research. Following that, my Master's focused on the use of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPBs), nitrogen and silicon fertilization in the production of Emerald grass, which led to publications in well-recognized scientific journals. I also worked as a teaching assistant in the course on Fertilizers and Fertilization, where I discovered my passion for teaching and sharing knowledge. Currently, in my Ph.D. program, I am investigating the effect of silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) combined with the co-inoculation of Bacillus aryabhattai as mitigators of abiotic stress in soybeans grown in the Brazilian Cerrado. I strongly believe in the role of science in promoting more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices, and this project has challenged me to explore innovative alternatives that benefit both soil health and crop productivity. I also had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant in the Soil Fertility course during my doctoral studies.

She earned her Master's degree through the Graduate Program in Production Systems at UNESP, Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira, and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Agronomy at São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" in Ilha Solteira.
She holds a Bachelor's degree in Agronomy (2008-2012) from the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM), where she was a scientific initiation scholarship holder in the area of Pedology, with an emphasis on water storage and carbon stock studies in Organic Soils. She earned her Master's degree (2015) and Ph.D. (2019) in Soil Science from the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), specializing in Soil and Water Management and Conservation, where she worked on the following topics: monitoring and modeling of water erosion, hydropedology, digital soil mapping, soil moisture sensor calibration, and soil moisture time series. She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on hydropedological studies and water resource management, as a substitute professor at the Department of Soil Science at UFLA, and as a tenure-track professor at IFPA. She is currently an Assistant Professor at São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP), Ilha Solteira campus, where she works in the areas of Soil and Water Management and Conservation, Soil Physics, and Pedology.
