My Work
In November 2020, I joined the Wikimedia Foundation to work as a Senior GLAM-Wiki Specialist (part-time, contractor). Since March 2021, I'm a full-time Program Officer, Culture and Heritage, as part of the Content Enablement team (previously known as Culture and Heritage). I usually work with visual knowledge, Wikimedia Commons, metrics, and structured data, as well as topics related to culture and heritage (GLAM-Wiki).
About Me
I've been a Wikimedian since 2016, editing as a volunteer and Wikimedian-in-Residence using the GiFontenelle account. I'm also a Wiki Movimento Brasil (WMB) member and, in 2020, was the Projects Manager for the user group using the GFontenelle (WMB) account.

I edit Wikipedia in Portuguese, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata, mainly carrying out activities with collections from GLAM institutions or Education programs. I'm also an Open Knowledge activist, as a Creative Commons Global Network member. In 2020 and 2021, I was the Wikimedia and Open GLAM Coordinator for Creative Commons Brasil and, in 2022, I acted as the General Coordinator for the group. I also enjoy planning events to decrease the gender gap on Wikipedia and co-funded the WikiMulheres+ group.

I'm a Journalist, Historian, and Educator who enjoys art and literature. I'm based in São Paulo, Brazil.
