I am a final-year History and Politics student at the London School of Economics, where I also work as a Research Assistant in the Department of Government. My academic interests centre on political economy, governance, trade policy, and the dynamics of development in Latin America. At the European Commission's DG INTPA, I worked on blended finance, EU trade conditionalities under GSP+, and the Global Gateway initiative, which deepened my interest in how international economic policy is designed and implemented in practice. Outside the classroom, I have actively represented the Brazilian student community in London, managed several Model United Nations conferences for youth, and organized academic panels on various topics.
