I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in Sociology from the University of Algarve. I am currently collaborating as a Local Researcher on the CONVENTUS project - New perspectives on the building of the former Convent of São José in Lagoa (Algarve-Portugal). I was invited to collaborate on this project by the Centre for Social Studies (CES) of the University of Coimbra and the Lagoa City Council. Throughout my academic career, I was awarded two scholarships for academic excellence. Since graduating, I have been involved in various national and international projects. I worked as a research fellow at the University of the Algarve on the projects "Summer with Science - Accessible and Inclusive Tourism" and "Blue Route - Preparing the new OCEAN 2030 economy: the blue route of discovery". I also had the privilege of being a research fellow at the University of Coimbra, contributing to projects such as SUGERE (Sustainability and Sensible Use of Geological Resources) and ASL (Atlantic Social Lab). I also collaborated as a researcher with CINTURS on the RESTUR project - Residents' Attitudes and Behaviours: Contributions to the Development of a Sustainable Tourism Strategy in the Algarve. I consider myself to be determined, persistent, committed and very communicative. As I look to the future, I am thrilled about the prospect of pursuing my academic career, gaining advanced qualifications, conducting innovative research and inspiring future generations of students. I remain committed to the academic world, fuelling myself forward to make significant contributions to the world of knowledge, especially in my area of expertise.
