I start working in nature conservation in 1999 when I was finishing my graduation. Since then, my main research topic has been ornithology. Birds are one of the most amazing groups to word with since they are everywhere around the globe, are excellent bio-indicators and are an amazing way to reach society, especially the young generations. Most of my interests and work are linked to bird monitoring, population trends, ringing and citizen science. This led me to stablish several networks at national and international level, currently being the national delegate and member of the steering Committee of the EuroBirdPortal (https://eurobirdportal.org/ebp/en/), and one the Portuguese national delegates on the European Bird Census Council – EBCC. On most recent years I was involved in the national Atlas (I winter and migratory Portuguese atlas, and the III Portuguese Breeding Bird Atlas), the revision and update of the Portuguese Bird Red List (2022), national data provider and representative for the II European Breeding Bird Atlas – EBBA2. After finishing the PhD in 2016, under the topic of birds as indicators for management on cork oak stands, I was appointed as co-responsible for the research line of Montado at the MED - Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development, and more recently selected as coordinator of the Research Group Applied Ecology and Conservation. On top of this, since 2019 I also work in the Employability, Community and Cross-cutting Division from the University of Évora, being responsible for a wide range of subject, from Alumni network and employability strategy to the Laboratories Management Unit. This experience combined with the research skills, allow me to coordinate several projects in different areas and gain valuable experience in multidisciplinary approach.
