I was born and raised in Portugal. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing at the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre, my Master’s Degree in Management at UAB, my MBA in Health Services Management and Administration at Cognos, and my Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training at Dudley College of Technology. I am currently a PhD candidate in Social Sustainability and Development at UAB.

Over the past decade, I have been living and working in the UK, where I serve as a Senior Shift Nurse and a Professional Development Nurse (PDN). I am deeply interested in a wide range of topics that contribute to my professional development.
