Class XXII (2024-2025)

Leticia is a social communicator and aid worker from Brazil. She started her fieldwork in the state of Roraima, the frontier of Brazil and Venezuela, where she has worked for MSF, AVSI Brasil and other organizations with health promotion and community-based protection, with refugees and traditional populations. Her fieldwork continued in Sinaloa, Mexico, as a protection manager for the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in the context of internal displacement. In her master's, she plans to deepen and foster her theoretical knowledge of migration and displacement in conflict contexts, especially with the visibility of these crises at the international level. She believes that the critical and interdisciplinary approach that UQ has in this complex subject will be essential for my journey as a student.
