Education

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora– Brazil -Masters in Communication and Identities– Grade A – mar 2011 – feb 2013

·The title of my master's research is "The identity of the victims in the depiction of violence in television journalism: the coverage of Jornal Nacional and Profissão Reporter in the territory of Rio's hills." I analysed the representation of the area in journalistic narratives taken as a reference for the imaginary construction on the Rio hills, and related to the recent media coverage about the conflict between police and traffickers and the reoccupation process, called "pacification".

UniversitatAutònoma de Barcelona– Spain -post-graduation in war journalism– Grade A – Feb 2009 – Nov 2009

·I specialised in War Journalism in a course called "Communication during conflicts and peace mediation"​. During this time I studied conflicts around the world and their origins. I had classes with specialists in European and African press who report conflicts all over the world.

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora– Brazil –graduated in journalism– Grade A – mar 1995 – jan 2000

·My focus during graduation was community journalism. During this period I did several community videos in Juiz de Fora about Brazilians below the poverty line. I also made a video about the formation of a community called Vale Verde. This community today is a district in the city. I was a monitor of the University Radio and University TV Station and was a monitor of Portuguese language of the department of portuguese during a year.
