What I'm looking for

I seek roles blending clinical practice with healthcare management, where I can lead operations, improve access and quality, and drive long-term strategic impact.

I am a Family Medicine specialist and manager with hands-on clinical experience in primary care, urgent care and addiction treatment across the Porto area and public health units. I combine frontline patient work with running private practice clinics and coordination of clinical teams.

As a residency coordinator and general manager I delivered operational improvements: I led appointment-system innovation that cut wait times from three months to under a week, implemented CRM, coordinated research and resident education, and published in indexed journals. I also achieved measurable business results managing large agricultural assets, doubling revenues and reducing costs.

I hold executive education in management (Executive MBA, AESE) and postgraduate business studies, and I bring a purpose-driven, team-first leadership style focused on lean operations, quality improvement and long-term strategic value.
