Check FAQAbout Patricia
I'm a Brazilian freelance journalist currently based in London and a scholarship holder at the Erasmus Mundus Master's program in Journalism, Media and Globalisation. Recently I have had bylines at Euronews, Climate Home News, Next City, Agência Pública, InfoAmazonia and Folha de S. Paulo, among others. As a reporter, I was an Earth Journalism Network (EJN) fellow in 2022 and 2023, and a Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) fellow in 2017. Before going freelance I was a staff reporter at G1, Brazil's largest news website, covering everything from hard-news to investigative stories about environment, health and cities. One of the pieces I produced there, about abortion rights, was awarded the Claudio Weber Abramo Data Journalism prize in 2022. I also worked as a misinformation reporter at Agência Pública, an award-winning investigative journalism newsroom where I've covered local and national elections.
