Her work, based in the Brazilian Amazon, looks at using digital technology to help indigenous people improve their livelihoods by communicating their needs and views.

Before her PhD, she worked for the Brazilian National Foundation for Indigenous Affairs (FUNAI) for four years, helping to protect and promote the rights of indigenous people.
