Description

What truly motivates me and brings me happiness is the constant pursuit of learning and exploration. Travelling is a significant part of my life; it allows me to discover new places and immerse myself in different cultures. Meeting people from diverse backgrounds and learning about their customs, traditions, and ways of life enriches my understanding of the world. I am particularly fascinated by the variety of religions and spiritual practices that exist, as they offer unique insights into the human experience.

Learning different languages is another passion of mine. It is not just about the words but understanding the nuances of communication and thought processes in different cultures. Cooking is also a joy for me; it is a wonderful way to experience a culture's essence and share that experience with others.

I find immense fulfilment in helping others and contributing to meaningful projects, whether they are social, ecological, educational, or cultural. Being in contact with nature recharges my spirit, reminding me of the beauty and interconnectedness of life. It is these experiences that inspire me to continue growing, learning, and making a positive impact in the world.

More details about your skills

I am a professional with a diverse and enriching career, where the management of cultural and educational projects is intertwined with solid experience in leadership and team coordination. My academic background in Social and Cultural Communication, complemented by studies in Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art and Production and Creation in Technological Arts, has been further supplemented by other academic and non-academic training, as I highly value continuous learning.

Among my recent projects, I highlight managing cultural productions and logistics for large-scale events, such as the World Youth Day 2023, with logistical and editorial responsibilities, and the Portugal-France Season 2022, where I was responsible for the general communication direction of the project. In my previous role at the Lisbon City Council, I served as an advisor in the Office of the Councillor for Environment and Green Infrastructure, where I developed and coordinated various cultural and environmental projects, including managing major events like Lisbon European Green Capital 2020, where I coordinated and produced exhibitions and publications.

My passion for teaching, which began by guiding contemporary art tours, led me to teach at various institutions, where I shared my knowledge of digital cultures, contemporary art, and performance. Additionally, my experience in international travel, both for tourism and professional purposes, has fuelled my curiosity and intercultural understanding, further enriching my global perspective. I enjoy travelling alone to observe and interact more freely and then sharing my impressions and discoveries with friends and acquaintances.

These roles demonstrate my versatility to adapt to different contexts and tasks, to deal with different people and sensitivities, and my ability to organize and produce project/events successfully.

I am motivated to continue having new experiences where I can apply and expand my skills and knowledge and pursue my passion for travel and fascination with the Other.
