With over 11 years of academic experience (including six years dedicated to research for my Master's and my current role as a PhD Candidate), my expertise in qualitative research goes beyond just a theoretical foundation. It includes my work as an undergraduate researcher in the project Imagéticas Indígenas e Agenciamentos Contemporâneos (PRÓ-ÍNDIO/UERJ), at the Anthropology of Art Core (NADA/UERJ), and ten years with the Research Group on Images, Narratives, and Cultural Practices (INARRA/UERJ). Alongside my academic career and studies in qualitative research, I believe that other skills developed throughout my journey provide me with a unique sensitivity to better understand human behavior. My relationship with music, the arts in general, and especially audiovisual media plays a fundamental role in my worldview today. A graduate of the Villa-Lobos Music School (1999), I have worked for years as a professional musician and guitarist. Since 2003, I have served as the musical director for the Satura Companhia de Teatro, using the artistic name Nino Rhamos, which I have adopted across all my professional fields. I also worked at several digital production companies in Rio de Janeiro between 2003 and 2017 as a video editor and digital animator, creating animated pieces for advertising campaigns for major clients such as Globo.com, Petrobras, and Coca-Cola, among others.
