short profile:

With 10 years of experience in the Research Office at Algarve University my main task it’s to help researchers in grant application. I have design and establish the pre-award office and worked with several programs in order to help researchers in finding funds for their research. It is very rewarding task dealing every day with science, to know the problems that researchers are facing and help them to overcome some issues. What I really like in this profession is that everyday is different from another.

My main asset is the trust that I have build with researchers.

With a degree in economics, a master in management science and  at the time present developing a PhD in research funding models. I love what i’m doing and always trying to improve my knowledge of research management administration.

Member of EARMA I think that it is so important sharing my work with other colleagues, because we learn so much sharing our views and problems.

Completly addicted to tennis, running and travel.
