Biography
I am a guest lecturer and research assistant at the University of Edinburgh School of Social and Political Science. My research has been shaped by my experience as a journalist, which includes 18 years as a reporter, editor and international correspondent for major Brazilian news outlets. I am particularly interested in the role of journalism in democracy, media capture, hybrid systems and disinformation campaigns.
