I am a Ph. D. student in Archaeology. I studied History in my undergraduate (2011) and masters (2015) at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis (Santa Catarina - Brazil). I'm research associate at Laboratório de Estudos Interdisciplinares em Arqueologia (LEIA - UFSC) and I have been participating in the following projects: The Southern Jê Context in Alfredo Wagner (SC - Brazil); Amerindian Territories in the Upper Itajaí Valley: Archaeology, Ecology and Paleobotany; and Central Coast Archaeology of Santa Catarina State. Since 2013, I have been researching the Southern Jê occupation process in the Santa Catarina mountain range, specifically in the Upper Itajaí Valley.
