Summary

Silvia H. Koller is a Brazilian Developmental Psychologist. Her trajectory was paved with many national and international mentors, who built her strong interest in and commitment to the internationalization of knowledge in the area, leading her as a Global South reference in Psychology. The support of many international pillars in psychology has led her to disseminate research in several scientific participations in associations around the world, as well as publish her research in quality journals. During her years as a PhD and master’s advisor, she mentored a growing cadre of faculty members, who are now rising stars around the world. She set the highest standards for her students and provided them with the supportive environment they needed to meet or exceed her and their own expectations.
