I am currently an assistant professor at the BA in Communication and Publishing at the School of Communications and Arts from the University of São Paulo (ECA-USP). I completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the department of Literature and Literary Criticism of the Catholic University of São Paulo (2021), after a PhD in Education and Children’s Literature at the University of Cambridge, UK. I am a member of the editorial team of the International Research in Children’s Literature journal and of the dditorial board of Bookbird: A Journal of International Children’s Literature. My most recent publication is the book Digital literature for children and young people: theory and practice of an aesthetic experience [Literatura digital para crianças e jovens: teoria e prática da experiência estética], co-organized with Prof. Elizabeth Cardoso (Educ, 2024). I am a voting member of the IBBY Brazil Awards, after being a member of the jury of the Selo Cátedra 10 and of the ComKids Interativo awards.

I worked as an assistant professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2020-2023) and collaborated with the UNESCO Chair in Reading (2020-2023), from PUC-Rio . My previous degrees include a Master of Arts in Children’s Literature at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, and an Honours BA in Communication and Publishing at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. I have also worked for more than a decade as a designer, editor, and translator of digital and print publications for children.

My research interests are transdisciplinary, crossing the areas of literature, communication and media, education and design. More specifically, my work investigates digital books and literature for children, digital reading and meaning-making, as well as the potential of digital literature as an aesthetic experience and in the promotion of multiliteracies.
