I have a degree in Applied Plant Biology from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. I'm currently working on the Zimbral for Life Project as a Research Assistant and, in parallel, developing my Master's thesis in Statistical Modelling and Data Analysis at the University of Évora, on the subject "Impact of anthropogenic pressures and bioclimatic conditions on dune juniper populations (2250*): species distribution models". My academic career includes participation in various projects focussed on nature conservation and plant ecophysiology.
