I graduated in Architecture at FAUL, Faculty of Architecture - University of Lisbon in 2009. In 2008 I participated in an exchange student program in Rio de Janeiro, where I was able to work with foreign colleagues. This helped to develop my ability to interact with diverse cultures and interest in working and living abroad.

After completing my studies, I have worked in several offices in different European countries, where I was able to participate on both architectural and urban planning projects. I have experience ranging from preliminary to development design and construction documents, as well as presentation drawings, images and models. Also, over these past two years, I've been working alongside other young Portuguese architects in partnership. With this practice I acquired project-leadership skills, improved my ability to make decisions and deal directly with other professionals in the field.

My expectations lie in embracing new experiences and developing my critical approach  towards the city and the details involved in constructing architecture.
