"I am a PhD candidate in Tourism and Hospitality at the University of Caxias do Sul (PPGTurH/UCS), where I also earned my Master’s degree in Tourism. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and Leisure from CEFET-AL (now IFAL). I have served as a scientific sub-editor for the journal Revista Rosa dos Ventos – Turismo e Hospitalidade (RRV-TH) and coordinated the thematic dossier 'Sambas and Tourisms in a Transdisciplinary Perspective.'My technical and scientific work is dedicated to critically understanding the relationships between Culture, Territory, and Tourism, as well as training initiatives, heritage rites, public mediation of culture, and project formulation and analysis within diverse territorial and institutional contexts. My research interests are situated at the intersection of Tourism, Intangible Heritage, Decoloniality, and Culture, with a particular focus on Sambas, Brasilidades, Memory, Cultural Identities, Territorial Narratives, and Audiovisual media.
