I have been working as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at Oregon State University - Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center (EOARC) since March 2025, assisting research in cow-calf systems on rangeland, investigating topics such as micronutrient supplementation, forage utilization, greenhouse gas emissions, and the impacts of environmental stressors like wildfire smoke. Originally from Brazil, I hold a Ph.D. degree in Animal Sciences from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (2023), a Master's degree in Animal Sciences from the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri (2017), and a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences from the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (2013). Through my postdoctoral and research scholar appointments at Oregon State University and Colorado State University, I have contributed to multidisciplinary projects involving beef cattle, cow-calf systems, grazing management, virtual fencing, mineral supplementation, and greenhouse gas quantification from both feedlot and grazing cattle. My academic and professional training was focused on beef cattle production, nutrition, and sustainability. This effort has resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Journal of Animal Science, Animal, Livestock Science, Animal Production Science, and Translational Animal Science. In addition to my research background, I have served as a teaching assistant in animal science courses and as a teacher in middle and high school.
