Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Physical Education, Federal University of Sergipe (UFS-Brazil). Professor/Researcher (Permanent Position), Graduate Program in Development and Environment-PRODEMA (Masters and PhD Programs) (UFS-Brazil). I graduated in Physical Education in 2003 (Federal University of São Carlos - UFSCar-Brazil), completed my Masters in Education in 2007 (UFSCar-Brazil, research financed by CAPES), and my PhD in Education in 2013 (UFSCar-Brazil, research financed by CNPq). The aim of my PhD research was to better understand the synergies between human motricity (phenomenology of movement) and environmental education (ecomotricity) focusing on the environmentalization (or greening) of the physical education curriculum in higher education settings. Part of the PhD was undertaken in Monash University (Australia) under the supervision of Prof. Phillip G. Payne. I was hosted as an Honorary Visiting Researcher for 8 months at La Trobe University (Victoria, Australia, 2018 - costs covered by UFS), for four months at the University of the Sunshine Coast (Queensland, Australia, 2019 - costs covered by UFS), and for one month at the University of Lille (France, 2023 - costs covered by the University of Lille). I'm currently the Editor of Special Editions for The Journal of Environmental Education. I have been a member of the Society of Qualitative Research in Human Motricity since 2005, acting as Vice-Director of Scientific Affairs (2007-2011; 2015-2019; 2023-current), Director of Scientific Affairs (2011-2015), Director of Events (2019-2021), and Vice-President (2021-2023).

I'm a founding associate of Jacaré Ki Pira Eventos Lazer (www.jacarekipira.com.br), a private enterprise acting in the areas of leisure and entertainment (sports and recreation events, training and motivation) since 2003. In 2007, this enterprise received the award for best Institution promoting the profession / professionals in the area of physical education in the city of São Carlos, bestowed by the Regional Council of Physical Education of São Paulo State (Brazil). Current research/supervision interests: Research projects that use ecomotricity or ecophenomenology as theoretical and methodological framework, especially in studies about environmental education, environmental justice, and access to nature.
