About me

I've been a Wikimedian since 2016, editing as a volunteer and Wikimedian-in-Residence using the GiFontenelle account. I'm also a Wiki Movimento Brasil (WMB) member and, in 2020, was the Projects Manager for the user group using the GFontenelle (WMB) account.

I’m very active on Wikipedia in Portuguese, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikidata, mainly carrying out activities with collections from GLAM institutions or with Education programs. I'm also an Open Knowledge activist, as a Creative Commons Global Network member. In 2020 and 2021, I was the Wikimedia and Open GLAM Coordinator for Creative Commons Brasil and, in 2022, I acted as the General Coordinator for the group. I also enjoy planning events to decrease the gender gap on Wikipedia and co-funded the WikiMulheres+ group.

I'm a Journalist, Historian, and Educator who enjoys Art and English literature very much. I'm based in São Paulo, Brazil (GMT-3).

My work

In November 2020, I joined the Wikimedia Foundation to work as a Senior GLAM-Wiki Specialist (part-time, contractor). Now, I'm a full-time Program Officer, Culture and Heritage, carrying out GLAM-Wiki activities (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) for the Culture and Heritage team, especially working with museums, visual knowledge, and structured data.

However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
