Interests

Having obtained a Bachelor's degree in Natural Environmental Sciences from the University of Lausanne, I am currently pursuing a Master's in Biogeosciences between Lausanne and Neuchâtel. My academic journey is driven by a desire to understand our natural environment and its complex interactions while contributing to its preservation. I am particularly interested in the transmission of scientific knowledge to strengthen the link between science and society.

Raised between the Jurassian countryside and the Brazilian metropolis, I have developed an insatiable curiosity and good adaptability. Throughout my studies, I have acquired skills in research, landscape reading, and data analysis. In parallel with my studies, I work as a monitor for a group aimed at introducing children to nature. I am also a passionate advocate for cultural and creative activities.

In the future, I envision myself integrating into the field of environmental research or environmental assessment office, where I could contribute to projects and possibly to public awareness efforts.

Master’s Project

My Master’s project focuses on the impact of equine dewormers on soil biological activity. After the administration of various dewormers/anthelmintics to horses, these chemicals that combat intestinal parasites end up in the manure while remaining active.

The objective of my research is to observe whether these products impact the biological activity of the soil, particularly the fauna responsible for the degradation of feces and soil fertility. To achieve this, I will combine field studies on soils and earthworms in equine farms with laboratory studies under controlled conditions.

This research addresses a need for scientific data in Switzerland on this topic, thus contributing to the promotion of farming practices that minimize the impact on soil health.

Additionally, my project will allow me to establish connections with horse owners, veterinarians, and researchers, thus fostering constructive exchanges and a better understanding of the environmental issues associated with the use of dewormers.
