She co-leads a research group on Latin teaching, and published along with professor Fábio Fortes the book Latim hoje: reflexões sobre cultura clássica e ensino [Latin today: reflections about classical culture and teaching] (2015), as well as a research group on intertextuality within Latin literature, writing the book Sobre intertextualidade na literatura latina. Textos fundamentais [On intertextuality in Latin literature. Fundamental texts] (to be published) which presents translations of main texts about intertextuality within Latin literature.
