I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I hold a master and PhD degree in computer science from UNICAMP and a bachelor degree in computer engineering also from UNICAMP. I did part of my PhD in Paris at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS), and in 2013, I was an intern at Google for 6 months. I have a strong interest in the gender gap and diversity in STEM, having published articles addressing this issue and received awards such as the Google Brazil Women in Technology Award in 2009. I graduated with a postgraduate degree in Teaching in Higher Education in 2019 and worked as an Adjunct Professor at Fluminense Federal University (UFF) for 4 years. I was coordinator of the projects Include Meninas UFF group about women in computers and ECOS Project about computing and education in partnership with KDE. Now I am an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia, and my recent research interests include computing \& education, especially math theory for CS.

I have two dogs: Puppy (although she is 12 now) and Betty (she is only 2). They were both rescued from Brazilian streets and traveled a long way to be with me in Canada. They love Vancouver, especially all the parks. In my free time, I like to play board games (Mysterium, Dixit, Puerto Rico, 7 Wonders, Forbidden Desert, and the list goes on...) or just binge-watch TV shows for so long that Netflix has to check if I'm still alive. I'm a 90s girl, so I love Buffy, Lost, Spice Girls, and Metallica. I also spent more than I should on the Playstation store and have tons of games yet to be played, and I do not miss any BC Lions games (Go Lions!). Now I took on a new challenge, and I am trying to watch all One Piece episodes.
