I have served as a State Attorney for the State of Paraná since 2018. Before that, I spent nine years at Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service in the State of Bahia. I hold a Master’s degree in Law from the Catholic University of Salvador (UCSAL), a graduate certificate (MBA) in Public Sector Management from Brazil’s National School of Public Administration (ENAP), and a graduate certificate in Tax Law from Estácio de Sá University. My research examines how governments raise revenue, make allocation decisions, and spend public funds, and how courts and federal arrangements constrain those choices.
A career devoted to public service, built largely through competitive examinations and selection processes: internships in the federal justice system, private legal practice, the Federal Revenue Service, and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Paraná.
During my law studies at the Catholic University of Salvador, I held competitively selected internships at the Federal Court of Bahia (2006–2007) and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office (Ministério Público Federal, 2007–2008). I also volunteered at the Bahia Board for Prisoners and Former Prisoners (Patronato de Presos e Egressos, 2006–2007), where I provided legal assistance to incarcerated individuals and drafted habeas corpus petitions.
I passed the Brazilian Bar Examination (OAB) in the same year I completed my law degree. I then practiced law for one year, focusing on tax law and consumer law.
After passing a competitive national civil service examination held by the Ministry of Finance, I worked on judicial proceedings, taxpayer services, and the implementation of e-Processo and e-CAC, the digital platforms that moved the agency’s administrative proceedings online. I received three formal recognitions for my performance: two Certificates of Merit and an official commendation.
I completed a graduate certificate in Tax Law at Estácio de Sá University. My thesis examined increasing the progressivity of the state inheritance and gift tax (ITCMD) as an alternative to the Tax on Large Fortunes (IGF), Brazil’s constitutionally authorized but never-implemented wealth tax.
I was sworn in at the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Paraná in 2018 and have served in Guarapuava and Curitiba.
I work on precatórios, the court-ordered debts owed by the State after final judgments, such as salary differentials owed to public employees and compensation awards.
I was one of three State Attorneys selected by the Attorney General to handle an extraordinary caseload of 82 court-ordered debts, conducting legal analyses and preparing technical opinions to support conciliation proceedings.
I completed a specialization (MBA) in Public Sector Management at Brazil’s National School of Public Administration (ENAP) in 2023 on a full scholarship, and a Master’s degree in Law at UCSAL in 2024. My thesis, The Reserve of the Possible as a Constraint on the Enforcement of Fundamental Rights, was supervised by Prof. Paulo Roberto Lyrio Pimenta.
I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy at the Catholic University Dom Bosco (UCDB), with expected completion in 2027.
