Degree in Geology (scientific area) by the Faculdade de Ciências of the Universidade de Lisboa (2002), Master in Volcanology and Geological Risks, Seismology area, by the Universidade dos Açores (2005) and PhD in Geology, specialty Volcanology, also by the Universidade dos Açores (2012). Joined the Centro de Vulcanologia e Avaliação de Riscos Geológicos (CVARG), currently the Instituto de Investigação em Vulcanologia e Avaliação de Riscos (IVAR), in September 2002, as a 2nd class professional technician, having been hired within the scope of the European project e-Ruption until 2005. Still part of the aforementioned project, she received additional training in her area of specialization at the Osservatorio Vesuviano in 2003. Between October 2005 and June 2006 she was a Research Fellow at the Universidade dos Açores on behalf of the European Project VOLUME (VOLcanoes: Understanding subsurface Mass moveMEnt) and between July 2006 and July 2010 she was a PhD Fellow under the protocol established between Direção Regional da Ciência e Tecnologia and the Universidade dos Açores. Since January 2012, she has been a senior technician at the Centro de Informação e Vigilância Sismovulcânica dos Açores (CIVISA), having worked at its Data Acquisition Center (CAD) until the end of 2015. In September 2015, assumed the role of CAD coordinator. As a member of CIVISA, monitored (and followed) several seismovolcanic crises recorded in the different seismogenic zones of the Azores archipelago, as well as participating in simulacra of seismovolcanic crises in the Azores and abroad, namely in Naples (Italy), in the MESIMEX exercise (Major Emergency Simulation Exercise), as a member of the Volcano Expert Team, organized by the Italian Department of Civil Protection and sponsored by the European Commission, aimed at testing the Vesuvius Emergency Plan. She has participated in national projects as a researcher, including the STorM project (Atmosphere - Ocean - Solid Earth Coupling: Seismic Tools to Explore and Monitor the Oceans). At European level, she participated in the e-Ruption project (e-Ruption: A satellite telecommunication and internet-based seismic monitoring system for volcanic eruption, forecasting and risk management) and VOLUME (VOLcanoes: Understanding subsurface mass movementMEnt). More recently, participated in the EUROVOLC projects (European Network of Observatories and Research Infrastructures for Volcanology), VOLRISKMAC (Strengthening of R+D+i capabilities for monitoring volcanic activity in Macaronesia) and VOLRISKMAC II (Strengthening R+D+i capabilities for the development of resilience against volcanic emergencies in Macaronesia), being the Responsible Researcher for CIVISA of the latter. The area of specialization is in the field of Volcanic Seismology, dedicating herself to the study of seismicity in volcanic areas, namely seismicity occurring in the form of seismic swarms, particularly in the central region of São Miguel Island(Azores). Is the author and co-author of works on statistical analysis of seismicity, relocation of seismic crises and inversion of stress tensors in the central region of São Miguel (Fogo-Congro).
