She completed a Master's Degree in Music Teaching (2019) at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (research in music performance anxiety) and a Bachelor's Degree in Music - Saxophone Performance (2017) at University of Aveiro. Nádia has also lectured saxophone and music classes in specialized artistic schools, and frequently performs as saxophonist in wind orchestras, big bands, chamber music ensembles and solo projects. Her main areas of research are Music Performance and Teaching, Music Performance Anxiety, Music Perception, and Music Biomechanics, fields in which she has multiple publications. Currently, she is in the main team of the FCT project "MUS-A: Music Performance Anxiety in Adolescents" (2022.05771.PTDC), and PI of the 2025 seed winner project "Between voices of music: Forging musical identities in Carlos Paredes’ guitar-voice collaborations in Fado-Canção de Coimbra" (Santander/UC).
