About

Environmental Engineer with experience in the industrial sector, graduated from the University of Brasília (UnB), with solid expertise in environmental management, regulatory compliance, and environmental monitoring. I act as a strategic, cross-functional professional aligned with operations to advance industrial sustainability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence — consistently reducing environmental risk exposure. I bring proven experience in structuring and executing Environmental Control Plans (ECP), solid waste management, air emissions control, and water and effluent monitoring. I also manage environmental KPIs, deliver robust technical reports, and ensure regulatory compliance with environmental authorities. I have earned national recognition for technical excellence through awards for case studies and research articles presented at major industry conferences (CBMINA and Minérios & Minerales). These works highlighted innovative wastewater treatment strategies that supported the feasibility of mining projects in Brazil’s semi-arid region — delivering sustainable solutions aligned with ESG principles and operational resilience. I am committed to continuous professional development in Hydrogeological Engineering and Safety Engineering, reinforcing my ability to deliver integrated HSE solutions and support high-performance operations.
