Territorial Development by the UN/UNDP and IICA/OAS. Author of articles, books and publications in newspapers, magazines and specialized media. Member of the Brazilian
Society for the Progress of Science SBPC.My professional path has always been guided by the search for interesting projects that could make a difference in rural areas and
offer new possibilities to grow professionally and as a person. Paulista by nature, living in the rural lands of the Escola Superior de Agricultura was an intense and unorthodox
path. Passing through the Douro International Park, Quinta do Marquês and Ecole Cheval Blanc, I found one of the vertices of the triangle of the Smart Rural Territory, Rural
Tourism. Later, at IICA, at the United Nations, Agenda 2030 and Conservation Units, the second vertex focused on sustainability, conservation and preservation. In this path,
the objective of becoming a leader in rural territorial development was also born, inspiring people, building networks and partnerships and creating a positive impact on rural
territories. With almost 30 years of experience working with sustainable development, rural development and public policy. I work in the management of strategic and
transformative projects in missions in Latin America, Africa and Europe in the area of ;regenerative rural development, rural tourism, environment and institutional
strengthening of territories (UN/UNDP) and (IICA/OEA).
