About Me
Portuguese MD/MPH and PhD candidate dedicated to transforming healthcare through digital innovation
I am a Portuguese physician with an MD and MPH, currently pursuing a PhD in Health Data Science. My work focuses on the digital transformation of healthcare policy and operations, with particular expertise in public health systems and data visualization.
Currently, I serve in multiple roles that span clinical practice, policy development, and international health initiatives. As a Public Health Physician at ULS Gaia Espinho and Programs Coordinator at Direção Executiva do SNS, I work at the intersection of healthcare delivery and strategic planning. I also serve as an External Consultant for WHO/Europe and work as an Industry Fellow and lecturer, bridging academia and practice.
My professional mission is to leverage technology and data science to improve healthcare outcomes and operational efficiency. I believe that the future of healthcare lies in the thoughtful integration of digital tools with evidence-based medical practice.

Beyond Professional Life
When not working on healthcare transformation, I enjoy playing piano, engaging in strategic board games, and spending quality time outdoors with my daughters. These activities help me maintain creativity and perspective, which I bring back to my professional endeavors.

I'm always interested in collaborating on digital health initiatives and sharing knowledge with fellow healthcare professionals and technology innovators.
