At the City Hall of São Paulo, he worked as coordinator of Migrant Policies, being responsible for organizing the first municipal Comigrar in the country, creating the first Municipal Council for Immigrants and formalizing the agreement for the banking of migrants and refugees. He also coordinated the structuring of the first institutionalized municipal migration policy in Brazil, with the implementation of permanent facilities such as the Reference and Assistance Center for Immigrants (CRAI).

She worked in France, where she coordinated the Migration Alliance project, an initiative that brings together local governments and civil society, led by ANVITA – Association of Welcoming Villages and Territories of France, in partnership with the Organization for Universal Citizenship (OCU), based in Paris. The project mobilized 97 cities in Europe, Africa and Latin America in welcoming and integration policies.

He is the author of articles on migration, with publications in publications such as Le Monde Diplomatique, a contributor to the film “The Seven Prisoners” (about human trafficking and labor analogous to slavery), and was recognized with the Personality and Defender of Human Rights Award, granted by the Legislative Assembly of the State of São Paulo, and with the Jaime Wright Award for Promoters of Peace and Human Rights, granted by the Dois de Julho Foundation, in memory of the Presbyterian pastor Jaime Wright, a symbol of peaceful resistance against the dictatorship and the fight for human rights in Brazil.

He is a member of the Advisory Board of the BRICS Policy Center and the Advisory Board of the Ombudsman's Office of the Public Defender's Office of São Paulo. He is also one of the founders of the World Social Forum on Migration, a space in which he continues to work to develop public policies that guarantee rights, reception and inclusion for migrants and refugees.
