About Me
I am currently a CEMS Student graduating in 2018 from Nova SBE, Lisbon & Bocconi, Milan. I am looking forward to start a challenging professional career, where I can develop myself.
My problem-solving mindset, team work capacity and communication skills helped me win the KPMG national business case competition.
Being part of the national team of gymnastics taught me to prioritize my tasks and manage my sports career with studies.
Furthermore, my educational background at NOVA School of Business and Economics leveraged my curiosity to be always learning.
In order to complement my academic journey, I performed three summer internships, which provided me greater technical insights on three specific industries: Real State (China), Financial Institutions (Portugal) and Consulting (Portugal). Moreover, back in 2014 I felt the need to unleash my entrepreneurial mindset when I founded a family business aimed to provide the best accommodation experience to students. Besides that, my ability to adapt to the different working environment was expanded during my professional experiences.
