Julia Mayumi has always been passionate about animals, with a special fascination for snakes and frogs. She spent much of her childhood in contact with nature at her family’s farm. As a teenager, she dreamed of working at the Butantan Institute, and with determination, she achieved her purpose. She is currently associated with the Laboratory of Zoological Collections of the Butantan Institute, and studies herpetology with an emphasis on systematics and evolution. After starting to photograph wildlife during her field trips, she discovered a new passion and always set aside time to dedicate herself to this craft.
