Summary

I'm a journalist by training and passion, with a degree from Escola Superior de Comunicação Social in Lisbon and experience across TV, print and digital platforms. From writing and editing to investigative reporting, I've always believed in the power of stories to give voice to those who are often unheard. Over the years, I’ve contributed to TVI’s Society newsroom and investigative unit and worked as a journalist for SOL and i newspapers. I’ve also been part of several editorial projects, led teams and created original content: earning recognition through journalism awards along the way. Although I'm no longer practicing journalism at this time, storytelling remains at the core of who I am. I’m currently exploring new paths where I can use my writing, communication and investigative mindset to make a meaningful impact.
