Originally from Brazil, she obtained an M.S. in ecology at the Universidade de Brasília in 2010 and a Ph.D. in biology at the University of Mississippi in 2019, where she studied amphibian diversification in Brazil and phylogeography of Appalachian arthropods. She coordinates the laboratory component of four different biology courses as an Instructional Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi.
