I am a Speaker, Researcher, and Lecturer. I am currently undertaking a PhD in Health and I hold a Bachelor of Psychology with Honours and a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Art History and Music.

I have conducted research in suicide, bullying, stigma, religiosity, rural health, and romantic relationships.

My honours research on suicide was awarded best student paper at an international conference in Singapore in 2017.

Since then, my work on bullying in the workplace has been published by the Conversation.com and generated great interest.

My research on romantic relationships has received a lot of media attention including TV and radio interviews, newspaper articles, and a publication on ABC News. On October 2018, I gave a TEDx Talk on self-sabotage in romantic relationships.

As a current postgraduate student, I am passionate about raising awareness of mental health in higher education and have written the Mental Health Program for High Degree by Research Candidates for James Cook University.

Further, my work as a lecturer and tutor has been recognised with a prestigious Inclusive Practice Teaching Award.

Overall, I am passionate about people and the expression of life. I am originally from Brazil and have travelled and lived in many places around the world.
