BBC Brasil + Midform Explainers  |  2020-present
I've been working as a video journalist at the BBC since January 2020. First with BBC Brasil, and from September 2024 with the Midform Explainers team. My main roles are editing and filming, though I regularly contribute to scripts, research, and production. BBC Brasil produces stories in Portuguese for the Brazilian audience. Midform Explainers sits at the heart of the World Service, producing videos in English for translation across BBC's 42 language services. Below are some of my favourite films.
