Hinayah obtained her B.Sc. (2014), M.Sc. (2015), and Ph.D. (2018) from the Universidade Federal de Vicosa (UFV), Brazil. During her Ph.D. she had the opportunity to conduct part of her research at the University of Guelph (Canada) and University of Georgia (USA). Hinayah has experience in genetic and genomic analysis of livestock animals in general, with focus on longitudinal traits. Currently she is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Guelph, working under supervision of Dr. Flavio Schenkel.
