I am a communications consultant, passionate about environmental issues, sustainability, politics and public participation, campaigning for social and climate justice at local, national and international levels. Since 2021, I am also president of a civic non-profit association "Evoluir Oeiras Associação" in Oeiras, a municipality in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area of Portugal, and local Councillor in the opposition. Furthermore, I am a former journalist who dedicated 19 years to covering environmental issues, namely several Conferences of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 

As a Pact Ambassador, I focus on building community resilience and environmental regeneration in Serra da Estrela through Ação Floresta Viva. This association organizes land clean-ups, tree planting, and seasonal harvest events, while raising awareness about climate change impacts and linking local activists with key networks. We also host workshops and community discussions to empower residents to manage land sustainably, protect their environment and create a resilient local community.

I believe climate action starts with education. Becoming more aware of climate and social issues has changed how I live and inspired me to do more. As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I plan to build a community with monthly meetings exploring links between the climate crisis and everyday actions, while promoting human and equal rights. Open dialogue and a diverse audience will be key to making this community engaging and impactful.

I am a greenfluencer. I believe that green modernization cannot happen without public support, which is why I use my social media to explain topics related to the climate crisis. I highlight the problems that the climate crisis brings, but primarily focus on finding solutions. My goal is to reach a wide audience by presenting these topics in an engaging and understandable way. The areas I focus on include decarbonization, nature conservation, and encouraging my followers to take personal action.
