I hold a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ceará, State University of Ceará, obtained in 1992. I earned a Master’s degree in Small Ruminant Production from the same institution in 1994, followed by a Doctorate in Animal Sciences with a concentration in Animal Breeding from the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 1999. My doctoral thesis was entitled “Evaluation of Breeding Programs for Dual-Purpose Zebu Cattle.”

In 1992, I began my academic career as a Professor of Genetics at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ceará. In 1999, I joined the Animal Science Department at the Federal University of Ceará as a visiting researcher and professor, where I contributed until 2023. During this period, I taught courses in Statistics and Animal Breeding and supervised Master’s and Doctoral students. I also provided academic support to the Federal University of Piauí and the State University Vale do Acaraú.

In 2001, I joined the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) under the Ministry of Agriculture as a researcher in Genetics and Animal Breeding, a role I held until my resignation in 2023 to pursue new professional opportunities. That same year, I established Seuflor VetClinic and Petshop, offering veterinary services. As the owner and administrator, I also served as a clinical veterinarian, consultant, web designer, and developer.

Since my undergraduate years, I have been a recipient of scholarships and grants from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), at every academic and professional level—from scientific initiation to high-performance research. I withdrew from official programs upon leaving EMBRAPA in 2023.

Between 2005 and 2007, I served as Executive Secretary of the Sectorial Chamber for the Goat and Sheep Production Chain at the Ministry of Agriculture, contributing significantly to the development of public agricultural policies.
