I’m a Brazilian creator based in Brooklyn, NY, working as an impact strategist and producer operating at the intersection of culture and community, harnessing the power of art and storytelling to drive positive change. I was the lead impact producer for the Peabody and Sundance Winner, Emmy nominated and Oscar shortlisted documentary The Territory, and the fiction feature How To Blow Up A Pipeline. I’m part of Doc Society’s Climate Story Fund strategist bench, and recently joined Nia Tero as impact producer for a series of films collaboratively made with Indigenous groups across all five continents. Through both authorial projects and in collaboration with other creators, I continuously strive to contribute to human development in harmony with others species and the planet, fostering meaningful and lasting impact.//
Eu trabalho como artista, estrategista e produtora de impacto na interseção entre cultura e justiça social, aproveitando o poder da arte e narrativas para impulsionar mudanças positivas. Liderei a campanha de impacto do documentário The Territory, vencedor do Prêmio Peabody e do Festival de Sundance, indicado ao Emmy e pré-selecionado para o Oscar, e também do longa-metragem de ficção How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Faço parte do quadro de estrategistas de impacto do Climate Story Fund da Doc Society e recentemente me juntei à Nia Tero como produtora de impacto para uma série de filmes feitos em colaboração com grupos indígenas dos cinco continentes. Através de projetos autorais e em colaboração com outros criadores, busco continuamente contribuir para o desenvolvimento humano em harmonia com outras espécies e o planeta, promovendo um impacto significativo e duradouro.
