Rebecca holds a PhD in marine ecology obtained at the Leibniz Institute for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), in Bremen, Germany, in collaboration with the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Bragança, Pará, Brasil. 

Her work aims to bring together anti- and decolonial epistemologies and struggles related to conservation ethics and more-than-human relations.
