I have extensive experience in teaching L2 Portuguese, having worked for several years in Hungary in collaboration with Camões, I.P., in both secondary and higher education. I participate in several national and international projects on L2 speech perception and acquisition, namely as a researcher at the Linguistics Center of NOVA University Lisbon, where I focus on experimental approaches and collaborative, team-based projects. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in a project on L1 phonological acquisition at the Centre of Linguistics of the University of Lisbon, which broadens my expertise in phonological development and multilingualism while complementing my work on L2 speech.
