Biography

I am global health practitioner working with the Molecular Epidemiology for Vaccination Policy project, providing accessible information about meningitis in a web-based platform. Prior to that, I worked as a general practitioner and clinical coordinator for the Invasive Bacterial and Acute Respiratory Infections Unit at the Manhiça Health Research Centre (CISM) in Mozambique.

I have recently graduated with a master’s in International Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Oxford and I have a degree in medicine by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I am interested in global health issues, tropical diseases and epidemiology.
