I graduated in Biology at Instituto Superior de Agronomia, University of Lisbon. Afterwards, I obtained a master's degree from Uppsala University, where I worked as a technician at the Evolutionary Biology Centre - Department of Ecology and Genetics. Nowadays, I am working as a lab technician in ACE (Adaptation to Complex Environments), maintaining populations of spider mites, and performing experiments within the project DYNAMICTRIO “Feedback between population dynamics and evolution of interactions in a tri-trophic system” (2023).
