PhD Student, Portuguese Presidential Scholar 2023 Teaching Assistant I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, but have lived in Campinas from my first year of life until I came to UGA. I went to Unicamp, where I got my undergraduate major in Literature Studies, an MA in Literary Theory and History and started a Ph.D in Literary History and Theory right before I came here. During that time, I have also taught Portuguese Language Literature in Brazilian High School and have pursued a career in creative writing. My published books (all in Portuguese) are O Gelo dos Destróieres (2018), Habsburgo (2019), Ruído Branco (2020) and Abaixo da Bandeira (2023), the last one being a partnership with two other authors, Gabriel Morais Medeiros and Whisner Fraga. I have also translated the German poet Paul Boldt to Portuguese in the volumes "O Café Literário" (2022) and "Meu Coração em Fevereiro" (2023). My research compares Brazilian and Argentinian fiction of the late 20th century's, focusing avant-garde, redemocratization and the relationship with other media in both countries.
