PhD student, Portuguese, Teaching Assistant of Portuguese I am a PhD student at the University of Georgia. My research focuses on exploring Brazilian poetry through the lenses of women’s studies and decolonial thinking theories. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Languages and Literature, specializing in Portuguese and English, and a Master’s degree in Languages and Literature with a focus on Literary Theory and Cultural Criticism, both from the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). Throughout my academic journey, I have been the recipient of two CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Brazil) scholarships. From 2018 to 2021, I was a member of the research group "Poéticas da Diversidade" (UERJ). I have explored diverse topics such as women’s studies, cultural studies, and the intersections between patriarchal and capitalist systems. Throughout the years, I have published in Brazilian academic journals such as Policromias (UFRJ - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro). In 2021, I authored a book chapter in the book Literatura e diversidade: estudos contemporâneos published by FFP/UERJ (Rio de Janeiro State University). In 2024, my master’s thesis, titled "Pode a mulher escolher?" (in English: Can women choose?), was published by the Luso-Brazilian/Galician publisher Editora Urutau.
