Anthropologist, documentary filmmaker and science communicator, she conducts interdisciplinary research on cultural representation, sexual and gender diversity, and the role of mediated narratives in shaping regimes of visibility, legitimacy, and public recognition. She is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra, working at the intersection of feminist media studies, visual anthropology, and arts-based research. Her research focuses on audiovisual representations of sexual and gender diversity, the politics of credibility and voice, and the role of media cultures in the production of social knowledge. She develops participatory and multimodal methodologies that integrate film, documentary practice, and transmedia storytelling as tools for research and science communication, exploring the potential of civic imagination and cultural counter-narratives to support more inclusive forms of sexual citizenship and public debate. Her work connects academic research, audiovisual creation, and public engagement, contributing to international debates on representational power, media ethics, and sexual citizenship. She participates in national and European research projects and develops science communication initiatives that bridge academia, media, and cultural institutions.
