What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my project management skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on training and development while fostering a collaborative company culture.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in project management and training within the public sector. Currently, I serve as a Senior Officer at the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where I design and implement training programs for diplomats, focusing on economic diplomacy and international relations. My role involves not only the organization of courses and seminars but also the management of content across various social platforms, ensuring that our initiatives reach a broad audience.

Previously, I held senior positions in project management and procurement, where I successfully led teams in the replacement of water meters and compliance with regulatory guidelines. My experience at Habitagua allowed me to develop strong skills in strategic commercial development, marketing, and quality management, which I leveraged to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. I have also worked in customer service and sales management, where I honed my ability to resolve complex issues and drive sales growth.
