I have a degree in Environmental Protection Engineering (Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2003), a Master of Science in Environmental Protection (Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2004) and a Doctorate in Environmental Science (University of East Anglia, 2009). I am currently Adjunct Professor 2 at the Department of Geography and Environment at PUC-Rio in Undergraduate and Postgraduate, PIBIC Coordinator at the Department of Geography and Environment, Coordinator of the Professional Master?s Degree in Sustainability Science at PUC-Rio, Coordinator of the Associate Professor at Opole University of Technology Faculty of Mechanical Engineering andHonorary Associate Professor at the University of East Anglia. I am co-founder of the International Institute for Sustainability (IIS), where I was Director of Projects and Research (2009-2016) and I am currently Executive Director. In 2018, for the Project 'Sustaining the Earth from the Start: Developing Carbon Service Assessment Structures and Soil Ecosystems for Tropical Soils'. I was awarded the Newton Advanced Fellowship Award by the Royal Society (2018-2020), Young Scientist of the Our State (2018?2021, FAPERJ) and Research Productivity Fellow (2018?2020, CNPq). I coordinate and participate in interdisciplinary research focused on sustainable land management in both tropical and temperate countries, with a special interest in the complementarity of social sciences in soil science. I am one of the coordinators of the Rio Conservation and Sustainability Science Center (CSRio) (linked to PUC-Rio) and the Integrated Landscape Management GP and the Interinstitutional GP for Research on Ecosystem Services. I lead and participate in high impact publications mainly in the areas of Environmental Sciences, Soil Science and Geophysics.

Possuo Graduação em Engenharia de Proteção Ambiental (Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2003), Mestrado em Ciência em Proteção Ambiental (Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 2004) e Doutorado em Ciências Ambientais (University of East Anglia, 2009). Atualmente sou Professora Adjunta 2 do Departamento de Geografia e Meio Ambiente na PUC-Rio na Graduação e Pós Graduação, Coordenadora do Mestrado Profissional em Ciência da Sustentabilidade da PUC-Rio, Professora Associada na Opole University of Technology Faculty of Mechanical Engineering e Professora Associada Honorária na University of East Anglia. Sou co-fundadora do Instituto Internacional para Sustentabilidade (IIS), onde fui Diretora de Projetos e Pesquisa (2009-2016) e atualmente sou Diretora de Ciência Aplicada. Em 2018, pelo Projeto 'Sustaining the land from the ground up: developing soil carbon and soil ecosystem services valuation frameworks for tropical soils', fui contemplada com o Newton Advanced Fellowship Award pela Royal Society (2018-2020), Cientista do Nosso Estado (2023?2026, FAPERJ) e Bolsista de Produtividade em Pesquisa (2023?2026, CNPq). Coordeno e participo de pesquisas interdisciplinares focadas no manejo sustentável da terra, tanto em países tropicais quanto em clima temperado, com especial interesse na complementaridade das ciências sociais na ciência do solo. Sou uma das coordenadoras do Centro de Ciências da Conservação e Sustentabilidade do Rio (CSRio) (vinculado à PUC-Rio) e dos GP Gestão Integrada da Paisagem e do GP Interinstitucional de Pesquisa em Serviços Ecossistêmicos. Lidero e participo de publicações de alto impacto principalmente nas áreas de Ciências Ambientais, Ciência do Solo e Geofísica.
