Completed the Integrated Master's in Veterinary Medicine in 2017 at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária. I'm a Ph.D. Student in Ciências Veterinárias at Universidade de Évora since 2020/09/01, an Assistant Professor at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária, since 2018, a Surgical Histopathologist in DNAtech - Laboratório Veterinário since 2019, and an Assistant Professor at Instituto Politécnico da Lusofonia since 2020. I have published different articles in journals and received 2 awards as a graduate. I participate as a Researcher in 1 project (NETA) and work in the area of Agrarian Sciences with an emphasis on Veterinary Sciences - pathology.
