I am a highly motivated bioimaging scientist, passionate about microscopy, light and nature. I am a biologist and biophysicist by training, with more than 15 years of experience in advanced optical microscopy. I work at the Centre of Marine Sciences in Algarve, Portugal, where I really enjoy being a science manager, mentor and service support scientist on optical microscopy. As a good communicator, I enjoy approaching people from multiple disciplines and levels of expertise. I am dedicated to creating a positive environment and effective approach to work, paying good attention to detail. I am constantly willing to improve and learn something new.
