Biography
Graduated in Nutrition Sciences from the Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences of the University of Porto (FCNAUP) in 2019 and a full member of the Order of Nutritionists (C.P. 4556N) since September 2020, I have been exercising my clinical practice in the fields of health and sport’s nutrition. I have attended and completed the curricular part of the Master’s Degree in Consumer Sciences and Nutrition, a partnership between FCNAUP and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP). I am currently a Guest Assistant Professor at the private University CESPU, Portugal, where I teach in both the Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences and in Nursing.
My degree in Nutritional Sciences is a second academic qualification. The first degree was completed in another area of exact sciences, Physics/Applied Mathematics at FCUP. Later, I completed the Master’s and PhD in Astronomy, also at FCUP. I was a postdoctoral researcher in the area of exact sciences in Astrophysics for 6 years, which allowed me to acquire skills that are very useful for my current career.
During my career in the field of nutrition, I completed an academic internship in pediatric nutrition (metabolic diseases) at São João University Hospital Center in Porto, and I also completed an internship at a catering company in the area of collective nutrition and public health. My internship at the order of nutritionists was in sports nutrition at a Portuguese football club.
Currently, my main goal is to help people achieve their best health performance in life.
