Fresh out of highschool, specialized in Socioeconomic Sciences, I started my journey in Economics at ISCTE-IUL for 2 years, and transfered for 1 year to Computer Science at the same faculty. Although with some success, I was not fullfiling the desired potential, which led me to take a break and return home; I did a couple of formal and informal jobs meanwhile (kitchen staff, driver, etc.) while I was away from my studies.
Later in life, now with more motivation, I enroll in Mathematics at University of Aveiro, which henceforth becomes known as my home, having actively participated to return to the faculty all the love and care I was given throughout my life as a student, be it as a member of the student group of my department (Núcleo de Estudantes de Matemática NEMat-AAUAv) and various volunteer campaigns in and out of the university campus. With my bachelors degree chapter over this year, and hopefully soon to follow my Master's Degree next year, I look to improve the skills I have been developing over the course of my studies.
Outside of my curriculum, I gained a vested interest in cooking, sports and, in general, a connection to nature. Obviously, as any other person, I also like staying home, enjoying a good movie, playing some computer games, attending live music shows or simply going out with my friends, all in all, the small pleasures of life that I always want to value.
