The study deals with educational training, interrelated with the teaching performance of Doctor Maria Lília Imbiriba Sousa Colares, a professor from Santarém-Pará, who effectively contributed to the expansion of Postgraduate Studies in Education in western Pará. The objective was to understand Lília Colares' educational trajectory, with emphasis on the formative and professional experiences that enabled her to reach a post-doctoral level and effectively contribute to the educational context of Santarém. A biographical study based on Cultural History was developed, which used as a methodology the oral history of life collected through interviews via Google Meet with Lília Colares. The oral sources were analyzed in the intersection with other documents and allowed to infer, as main results, that the biography, even in the face of a restrictive economic context and instability regarding family ping-pong and frequent change of schools, managed not only to conclude high school, but moving to Campinas to pursue a masters and doctoral degree, with the support of her husband. This formative experience allowed him to contribute to the educational scenario of Santarém by developing projects to strengthen democratic management and participate in the implementation of stricto sensu courses considering the region and difficulties experienced by the people of Pará. Her story, in the plot of an exceptional biography, allows not only to preserve the history and memory of educators who were historically invisible, but to cast light on the obstacles that made it impossible for so many other women to reach higher levels of education.
