Hi, welcome to my personal blog.

About me

I have completed a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. My academic journey has been complemented by a diverse range of professional experiences, including internships at Bain & Company and Premium Minds, where I worked on my skills in software development and strategic consulting.

I have a strong passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, which led me to participate in the European Innovation Academy. During this program, I was part of the AnkleWise team, where we developed a wearable device to prevent ankle injuries in athletes. Our project received multiple prizes, including the Nixon Peabody LLP Patent Innovation Award.

In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I am actively involved in various extracurricular activities. I have served as the Chair of the IEEE-IST Student Branch and have been a mentor for Próxima Geração, a non-profit academy focused on preparing future civic leaders.

My goal is to leverage my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive impactful innovations in the biomedical field.
