What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities in innovative environments that prioritize sustainability and community engagement.

I am a highly motivated and detail-oriented researcher with a strong academic foundation in Territorial Management, Urban Studies, and Architecture. My experience encompasses qualitative and quantitative research, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement, which I leverage to address complex environmental challenges. I am passionate about social innovation and sustainability transitions, and I actively explore participatory-action research processes and collaborative management approaches.

Currently, I am engaged in a research studentship at Instituto Superior Técnico, where I contribute to various Portuguese and European-funded projects. My work involves facilitating local capacity building, conducting environmental impact assessments, and engaging communities in sustainable development initiatives. I have a proven track record of designing visual communication products and managing project websites, ensuring effective dissemination of project outcomes.

With a Master's degree in Territorial Management and Urban Studies and a Bachelor's in Architecture, I possess a robust skill set that includes advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, ArcGIS Pro, and data analysis tools. I am fluent in English and Portuguese, with additional language skills in Spanish and Italian, which enhances my ability to work in diverse, multicultural teams.
