I am a museologist and public servant at the Chamber of Deputies, Brazil, currently working at the Chamber’s Museum after years in Digital Preservation. I teach New Media in the MBA Museums and Innovation Management program and consult on digital projects connecting collections and democracy. I researched how the Parliament's collections can promote democratic values, resulting in an action plan now being implemented. I pioneered Brazil’s first museum website, the first museum Edit-a-thon, managed MuseumWeek for Brazil, and contributed to the ICOM Strategic Plan Committee for two mandates.
