Profile Summary

As a geneticist with a PhD in biological science, I bring over 10 years of R&D experience in phytopathology, microbiology, and agronomy, focusing on crops like wheat, maize, peanuts, and soybeans. I have colaborated in multidisciplinary projects national and internationally. My work bridges academic expertise and biotechnological applications, providing actionable solutions for agricultural industry and productors. I am interested in applying my scientific and technical skills in the private industry, with an emphasis on the production of biological inputs, molecular biology, and phytopathology to improve food safety and quality. Technical Skills: Microsoft Office Package (Word, Excel, Power Point, Power BI), Google sheets, calendar, e-mailing, Chat GPT, Gemini, data analylitics, INFOSTAT, R studio, laboratory skills, field trials, staff training, greenhouse assays, media culture, microbiology and molecular biology. Soft Skills: Scientific writing of projects, dissemination and articles, lecturer, apply theory, project administration and manager, oral communication, university administration, interdisciplinar team communication, English dissertation, teamwork, time management. Certifications: Biological supplies, mycotoxins, phytopathology, microbiology, genomics bases, HPLC, statistics, R Studio.
