For 20 years, I dedicated my professional life exclusively to scientific research in the biomedicine field. With a focused commitment: to contribute with scientific knowledge that can be used in the development of emerging therapeutic programs to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
Alongside with science, I have always been engaged with communication and education activities through students mentoring/supervision and promotion of scientific literacy within the general public and schools: motivate and inspire the young generations, stimulate critical thinking and promote awareness!
In 2021, I embraced a family challenge and moved into the business world in the water sector to develop & implement communication and literacy programs in our company, HIDROVAL, to add value to the business and promote a more profound engagement with our community: clients, partners and society. As a whole, my professional mission is to make use of knowledge to improve people’s lives.
I wish to take advantage of my academic and communication skills to communicate about water, this vital and finite resource. I recognize the social responsibility of private companies to 1) participate in activities that raise awareness about new environmental challenges, 2) remind people about the value of water and 3) explain how to make it available and safe for future generations. We are seeing clear effects of climate change in our societies. So, there is here a window of opportunity to help, offer solutions, educate, and thrive as a society. Aligned with this philosophy, in the past year, I have been able to establish partnerships with water pumps manufacturers (Xylem), local municipalities (Camara Municipal do Porto) and governmental initiatives on ocean literacy (Escola Azul) with the aim to promote water awareness activities in our community. Being part of the Ocean Expert initiative will surely contribute to the success of my mission.
