About me
I am a registered physiotherapist (Australian Health Practitioner Registration Authority / Brazilian Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy) with over seven years of clinical experience in clients with cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal conditions in Brazil and Australia. I also have experience with lecturing undergraduate health degrees and supervision of honours students. I was trained at the Federal University of Paraiba (Brazil) (2015), where I also completed a master's by research in Physical Education (2018). I completed a PhD in Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia (2022) where I investigated the potential use of blood flow restricted exercise training for people living with COPD, including perspectives of key stakeholders and physiological effects on vascular function.
Currently I am working as a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at UniSA - Acute Care focused. On research, my focus is on improving health by investigating and developing novel exercise strategies and interventions for healthy and clinical populations - mostly with cardiorespiratory conditions - covering physiological mechanisms, efficacy, adherence and stakeholders perspectives.
