I consider myself to be a well-organized, dedicated, and multifaceted individual with an elaborate critical spirit, which I believe is required for a career as a scientific researcher. I enjoy challenging work that is never limited to horizons of different themes. I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Portugal) and a Master's degree in Biodiversity, Ecology and Global Change from the University of Minho (Portugal). I am particularly interested in ecosystem services, climate change, environmental ecology, green infrastructures and the interplay of environmental and socioeconomic relations.
