About

Having a Law degree, my academic experience of greater relevance was the work developed at the Public Defender of the Union, a federative brazilian institution focused on providing legal assistance to people in socially vulnerable situations. Currently, I am a master's student at the University of Salamanca, studying Interdisciplinary Gender Studies. My research focuses on the deliberative actions of the women of the communities traditional afro descendants in Brazil.
