About me

A born (and trained) communicator, I have worked with a variety of subjects, but always trying to be as accessible as possible. 

​

I AM CURRENTLY part of the Sexuality and Policy Watch (SPW) team. Since 2021, my work has involved projects, research and communication. I connect different parties and partners in a project, and participate from planning to completion. I ensure that deliverables are completed on time and advise on how to do so in accordance with our standards, even when I'm not involved in the execution myself. I also research, analyse, write, proofread and edit at SPW. I am also a regular contributor to Ação Educativa, as a reporter, since 2020. 

​

My focus is on gender and sexualities, and I have many years of experience in the third sector. 

Most of my experience comes from writing, reporting, proofreading, translating, social media management, scriptwriting and producing podcasts/radio broadcasts. But I've also done consultancies work focused on gender and diversity, research, and I'm used to assisting projects. 

 

I've also had podcasts, blogs, YouTube, chaired societies and I'm always learning something new and taking courses. 

​

I'm [very] organised, hard-working, and willing to learn. To use Linkedin terms: I'm ‘versatile’, 'flexible', and ‘multitasking’. Through years of freelancing, I've become even more organised, independent, good at time-management and  working with simultaneous projects. 

​

You will find a summarised CV below. Some of my work can be seen in the ‘Texts’ and ‘Projects and Campaigns’ sections.
