Effective member of Portuguese Psychologists Association (nº 25608). In 2023, I started my work as a PhD Student at Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS). Between 2021 and 2023, I woked as Research Fellow at ICVS and at P5 Digital Medicine Center, both centers of research at the School of Medicine, University of Minho (Gualtar Campus, Braga, Portugal). Simultaneously, I am coordinating the Neuropsychology Unit, as a Neuropsychologist, at the Psychology Association, University of Minho (Gualtar Campus, Braga, Portugal). Before that (during 2020), I worked as Research Fellow at Proaction Lab, Center for Research in Neuropsychology and CognitiveBehavioral Intervention, University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal). For two years, I worked as a Research Fellow in the psychological neuroscience laboratory, the research center of the University of Minho. I completed my Master in Psychology in 2018 (University of Minho, Portugal) and my European Master in Neuro-cognitive Processes and Affective Sciences (PPNSA) in the same year (University of Lille, France). I am a highly motivated professional with a high interest in improving my skills. I believe that my strong adaptability and sense of responsibility are decisive qualities. I am a conscious person who puts 100% into each task. I am honest, organized, hardworking, and a goal-directed person. I am self-motivated with an eye for detail.
