This essay outlines my professional trajectory described in the Memorial prepared for the full professor application process at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in 2012. Gerontology is the field of my professional practice; I began my career teaching, coordinating community services and assuming administrative positions, and later on undertook graduate studies and research.

I continue my trajectory learning, researching, producing, publishing, and teaching
