Hi there! I'm a philosopher working as a professor of Philosophy at Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) in Salvador, Brazil. I'm a permanent member of the Graduate Program in Philosophy and a permanent member of the Graduate Program in Teaching, Philosophy and History of Science, both at UFBA.

I'm also a founding member of the Enactive Cognition and Narrative Practices research group (University of Wollongong), and a founding member of the Cognition, Language, Enaction and Affectivity research group.
