PERSONAL
SKILLS

I consider myself perfectionist, hard-working, dynamic, curious,

responsible, self-demanding, persistent and creative. I am sociable and I
have no difficulty in making amenable relationships or working in team. I
always want to learn as much as I can, I like to take up big challenges and
I believe engaged work is the key to achieve our goals.

OTHER

Besides studying and doing research I try to have an active role in our

INTERESTS

society. I have done voluntary work in Oncology Institute of Oporto since

2006 and in the same date I became member of an International Amnesty
local group. In my free time, I like reading both scientific and leisure
literature and travelling. I also practice swimming everyday and ballroom
dance once a week. I appreciate going to the cinema, opera or classical
music concerts.
