I have been enthusiastic about living creatures since forever, so the bachelor’s degree in Biology at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP) was a natural consequence.

In 2020, I proceeded to a master's degree in Biodiversity, Genetics and Evolution. Currently, I am working on my master's thesis which focuses on the ecology of the Azores woodpigeon (Columba palumbus azorica). The study involves metabarcoding of faecal samples from this endemic subspecies to relate their dietary composition with the phenology of Pico’s Island flora.

Ornithology, biodiversity conservation and environmental management are my top interests!
