I have experience in the field of Ecology, with a special focus on its different branches. Throughout my journey, I’ve taken part in various interactive events, like exhibitions and seminars, which further enriched my perspective on the area. I’ve also worked on a variety of projects, and the most recent was my Final Course Project (TCC), where I had the opportunity to merge Ecology with the world of cinema — an enriching and inspiring experience.

Film Title: Feeding the Future
The planet is facing alarming climate changes that directly impact all sectors of society, especially food security. In the midst of this scenario, the documentary explores how home gardens focused on Unconventional Food Plants in urban areas can be a viable and sustainable solution to guarantee safe and healthy food. Filmed in the municipalities of Delmiro Gouveia, Palmeira dos Índios and Arapiraca, in Alagoas, the project gathers testimonies from residents who use home gardens on a daily basis, as well as presenting a rich scientific analysis of the environmental and social benefits of these practices. Using a simple methodology to gather information and reports, the film captures images of the gardens and the surrounding environment, promoting an ecological and inspiring vision. More than a film, it is a call to reflection and action, highlighting the power of small initiatives in tackling major global challenges.
