Ph.D. in Human Geography and Criminal Studies, I am a research associate at LADYSS and hold the national qualification (CNU, section 23) in geography. I specialize in qualitative, fieldwork-based research with a focus on territorial valorization and the urban regeneration of spaces affected by organized crime, particularly through the social reuse of confiscated or vacant assets. My work is grounded in research-action, developed in close collaboration with associations, cooperatives, local communities, and institutional stakeholders.
My projects aim to support processes of spatial and social transformation, promoting social justice, urban innovation, and collective resilience. I am particularly engaged in initiatives that foster citizen reappropriation of space, revitalization of marginalized urban areas, and the creation of new social uses for underutilized or neglected sites, often through collaborative, community-led approaches.
Alongside my research, I have delivered over 690 hours of university teaching, developing expertise in student supervision, interdisciplinary pedagogy, and science communication. I also have experience in project management, organizing academic events, and university administration.
A practitioner of capoeira for nearly ten years, I draw from this practice a philosophy rooted in resilience, strategic adaptability, and collective spirit, values that deeply inform my professional commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and cooperative urban regeneration.
