My MSc in Social Sciences in International Relations (Global Refugee Studies) at Aalborg University brings together research and project coordination. I analyze social dynamics in migration, peace, and conflict by combining quantitative data in STATA with qualitative fieldwork and interviews.

At Lisbon Project Association, I organised and facilitated weekly activities for migrant and refugee children, and recruited and trained volunteers. As a Junior Project consultant at Save The Children Youth, I supported volunteer onboarding and matched volunteers with humanitarian initiatives.

My research projects include work on identity negotiation in Puerto Viejo, Brazilian immigrants in Portugal, and stress among humanitarian workers in Lesvos. I translate empirical material into structured analytical outputs and clear academic communication.
