I'm graduated in Biology for the University of Évora since 2004 and I also have a master in Conservation Biology, by the University of Évora since 2010.

Since 2003 I've been working in the University of Évora in several projects concerning species conservation and environmental and hunting management, in Alentejo and Algarve regions.

Currently I'm developing my PHD thesis (SFRH/BD/80908/2011) and my main areas of interest are species conservation and management, particularly game species as the European rabbit.
