I am a Professor and researcher in Nursing at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), Brazil, with a background in nursing management, education, and health services. Throughout my career, I have combined academic work with practical experience in nursing leadership and the organization of health services. My research and professional interests include nursing management, continuity of care, care transitions, discharge management, health services organization, and the integration of healthcare networks. I am also deeply interested in internationalization in higher education, particularly in creating opportunities for students and faculty to gain international experiences, develop intercultural competencies, and build collaborative networks across countries. I believe that international collaboration can enrich education, research, and professional practice. My personal mission is to connect knowledge, people, and experiences to promote more integrated, person-centered, and sustainable healthcare while contributing to the development of the next generation of nursing professionals and researchers.
