 Worked for 18 years in multinational companies, assuming different functions in the areas of sales, marketing and new business models and being responsible for managing different teams. Being aware that personal and professional well-being is essential for being more effective and efficient and fundamental in the relationship we establish with colleagues and partners, she decided to complement her training with several courses in the field of leadership, conflict management, time management and team management.

Yoga and meditation practitioner on a regular basis, she has a particular interest in the areas of health, personal development and well-being.

In 2015 she became a Certified Facilitator of Conscious Parenting by LIFE Training / Mikaela Ovén and in 2017 she made the Mindfulness Program for Stress Reduction (MBSR) with Carla Martins, at Ser Integral – Centro Português de Mindfulness.

In 2018 and with the goal of developing and exploring the practice of mindfulness at workplace, she decided to participate on the Search Inside Yourself (SIY) program, becoming a certified teacher. SIY is a program initially developed by Google that interlinks the development of emotional intelligence, mindfulpractices and leadership principles.

 In the last years she has been dedicated to marketing and human resources consulting. Her main focus is the development of corporate programs that allow greater business efficiency while taking care of its most precious asset: people.
