I’m graduated in Marine and Fisheries Biology (University of Algarve) and hold a Master in Nature Management and Conservation from University of Algarve. I started to work in inland fisheries management, giving advice on action plans towards the conservation of some aquatic species of particular ecological concern. In 2006, I joined the TytoTagus project and discovered a special interest for nocturnal birds of prey.

Nowadays I have a research scholarship. My main interests are of wide range within conservation biology and ecology, but I give a special priority to issues related with owls.
