I obtained my masters’ degree in Psychology from University of Minho (Portugal) in 2016. My master’s thesis was conducted at the Animal Learning and Behavior Laboratory and focused on disentangling which cue (reinforcement contingencies, time or number) pigeons used to solve a task. In parallel, I completed a curricular internship in Organizational Psychology that focused on improving work safety. In 2024, I obtained my doctoral degree in Basic Psychology from University of Minho. I studied the mechanisms underlying numerosity discrimination in pigeon with a grant from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) (PD/BD/128458/2017). As part of my doctoral curriculum, I received training in different data analysis tools (e.g., VBA, R, Psychopy) and attended courses to enhance my mathematical skills (e.g., Calculus, Probability Theory, Linear Algebra). I completed a laboratory rotation in the research group in psycholinguistics where I was integrated in a project focusing on the processing of grammatical gender in bilinguals. Over the last few years, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Research Center in Psychology at University of Minho.
