Profile

I was born and raised in Curitiba, Brazil, where I obtained my veterinary degree in 2014. During my veterinary studies, I pursued additional training in reproductive physiology, management, and health of dairy cows at the Universities of São Paulo and Florida, and at a private veterinary clinic in southern Brazil. In 2017, I obtained my MSc in Animal Sciences at the University of Alberta, where I investigated the use of an automated in-line milk progesterone analysis system to monitor reproductive function as an approach to predict fertility in naturally cycling dairy cows. After my MSc, I worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Alberta for over a year, primarely conducting data analysis and studies related to reproductive development of dairy heifers.
