A frequent keynote speaker, she gives talks at events, schools, and reading-promotion initiatives, and she regularly takes part in book fairs and literary projects across Brazil and abroad—including Flipinha, PROLER, SESC, SESI, and the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
Naturalist
Bia não é bióloga, não é oceanógrafa, não é geógrafa, não é paisagista, não é arqueóloga e nem historiadora, mas desde sempre foi uma naturalista apaixonada e autodidata. Tem artigos científicos publicados, em colaboração com grandes pesquisadores brasileiros, mas seu foco é apoiar iniciativas de pesquisa, conscientização e conservação do patrimônio ambiental e cultural brasileiros.
