I graduated from the Dental School at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2010. I completed a specialization in Prosthodontics in 2012 and in Operative Dentistry in 2015. My Master's degree in Clinical Dentistry and Prosthodontics was obtained from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, between 2017 and 2019, followed by my PhD in the same field from 2019 to 2023. During 2021–2022, I participated in the Dentsply Implant Fellowship Program at the University of Florida in the Periodontology Department, and in 2022–2023, I completed a second fellowship in the Prosthodontics Department, culminating in two years of clinical training in the USA.

Currently, I'm a clinical assistant professor at the University of Iowa Prosthodontics department in a simulation clinic for D1, D2 undergraduate students, and D3 in a prosthodontics clinic. I'm a course director for anterior all-ceramic crown, and posterior crown for D1, which I updated with more than 20 lectures — some with CAD/CAM technology and digital workflows — and clinical assistant professor for graduate students at the Prosthodontics department. I also provide patient care in the Department of Prosthodontics Faculty Practice. I continue to collaborate on research projects with the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Rochester. I love mentoring, collaborating on research, and helping others grow in their academic and research environment.
