I did my bachelor’s degree in Biology and my master's degree in Human Biology and Environment, both at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon. I developed my master thesis at the Wageningen Univeristy & Research where I conducted research on the topics of agricultural entomology and biological control. Currently I'm working as a lab technician in ACE (Adaptation to Complex Environments) group within the project DYNAMICTRIO "Feedback between population dynamics and evolution of interactions in a tri-trophic system".
