I'm a data geek and process nerd who loves to build people up and help them grow. For 20 years, I've been turning chaos into order at companies across all stages of growth to ensure that their teams flourish. I'm now throwing my passion for helping people into helping PhDs, PostDocs, and Mid-Career Researchers get jobs in industry. My goal is simple: to help brilliant minds thrive outside the academic world and make real impact in their new careers.

Universidade de Aveiro

Developed and implemented methodologies to obtain aerogel microparticles and uniform nanoparticles based on polysaccharides for DNA transport through pulmonary administration - an interdisciplinary PhD project blending pharmaceutical technology, biochemistry, and biomaterials.

Research Scientist - Pharmaceutical Formulations

Extracted and fractionated polysaccharides from biomass and analysed their efficiency as microparticle carriers for pulmonary insulin delivery.

Research Scientist – Pharmaceutical Formulations 

Decathlon 

Assisted customers with product selection, maintained an organized store, and operated the cash register efficiently.

Retail collaborator

Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology

Contributed to the search of new targets to counteract osteoporosis in post-menopausal women by analysing the mitochondrial performance during osteoblast differentiation and the role of estrogen in that process.

Research Scientist Trainee – Mitochondrial Biology 

Proactive biochemistry PhD with expertise in particle engineering and biomaterial science, and with a passion for pharmaceutical innovation. My latest work focused on developing sustainable particle systems for pulmonary nucleic acid delivery and creating polysaccharide-based aerogels as biomaterials. I am a goal-oriented researcher with problem-solving and interdisciplinary collaboration skills. Outside the lab, I am an animal lover who enjoys exploring nature.
