Hi there! I'm a Portuguese content manager and multimedia expert. Ever since I was little, traveling the world with my parents, I've been fascinated by different cultures. My drive to make others smile and to bridge language gaps led me to study Multimedia for my Bachelor's and 3D animation for my Master's. These studies have really sharpened my skills in creating content that touches people's hearts. I'm also quite empathetic, which has driven me to get involved in several volunteer projects. My goal is to use my multimedia skills to make the world a happier, more positive and understanding place.

I've been a globetrotter since I can remember, tagging along with my parents on their travels around the world. My earliest memories are filled with different cultures and landscapes from every corner of the globe. I've been super lucky to check out a bunch of amazing places — Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Mozambique, South Africa, São Tomé e Príncipe, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Madeira, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Vietnam, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, France, Switzerland, Spain, England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Greece. All these incredible trips have turned me into kind of a global citizen, deeply appreciative of the stunning diversity and beauty our planet has to offer.

I lived for two years in Barcelona while I was doing my Master's and it was definitely the best time of my life. I did my best to soak up the city's buzzing culture, its amazing art and architecture, and the incredible mix of people. Barcelona quickly felt like a second home to me. I made deep connections and unforgettable memories. This period of my life was a game-changer, enriching me personally and culturally — and when I came back home I became a pescetarian!
