PhD candidate in International Relations at NOVA FCSH, specializing in Globalization and Environment, demonstrating and explaining the nexus of climate change, ocean, and security (maritime security and human security, in the Atlantic and Arctic, respectively), with a focus on Portugal due to its geographical position and the role it can play in a new geopolitical context emerging with climate change impacting the Arctic and affecting the rest of the world. Portugal can share its knowledge and receive information from Arctic countries and their populations, consequently defining a position to engage in the Arctic. Formerly an Army Officer, she has worked in various Portuguese companies in International Relations. This experience led her to pursue a master's degree in International Relations, rekindling her interest in the Arctic region and its indigenous populations at Universidade Portucalense, where she developed a dissertation analyzing and comparing Canada and Finland's Arctic policies under the title "Human Security of Inuit and Sámi in Canada and Finland: comparing Arctic Policies." She is bilingual in French-Portuguese, fluent in English and Spanish (Bachelor's degree in French-English, Master's degree in Spanish). She is a member of Eurodefense Portugal, included in the list of 100 Women in Polar Science, Research Fellow at NAADSN Canada, and Visiting Researcher at the Arctic Centre, University of Lapland, Rovaniemi.
