Portugal

Passionate about international affairs, I have a BSc in Political Science and International Relations, and a MSc in Economics and Public Policies. Currently I’m takind a second master in Bussiness Management.
In recent years, I have participated in several youth exchanges in Europe and outside Europe, mainly regarding crucial topics such as the refugee crisis and human rights, sustainable development and European citizenship. Furthermore, I have been a volunteer since an early age: spent part of high school volunteering in the local Food Bank, and gave classes in disadvantaged communities in Brazil and Cambodia.
Regarding my professional career, I have been an intern in several organisations, such as the Regional Directorate for European Affairs and External Cooperation (Regional Government of Madeira) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), where I worked in the Local Employment and Economic Development.
Moreover, I am a member of the Advisory Board of the Think Tank of the Institute for the Promotion of Latin America and the Caribbean (IPDAL), which gathers leaders who are passionate about the transantlatic relations.
