Oeiras, 1984. Formada em Psicologia Aplicada, área Clínica e tendo-se especializado, mais tarde, na Gestão de Recursos Humanos. Após treze anos enquanto profissional de RH, deixou a vida de corporativa para trás para passar a dedicar-se exclusivamente à fotografia.
Através de fotografia e de filme procura trabalhar questões sociais e psicológicas. Interessa-se em compreender de que forma é que estes meios podem ser uma ferramenta de ligação e de compreensão entre pessoas e relações sociais, e de que forma é que podem ter um lugar de voz em questões políticas. Temas como identidade, género e identidade de género têm sido abordadas em projectos como ATLETA, QUEENS e Disse Fêmea.
O seu trabalho já foi exposto nos Maus Hábitos, Porto (2023) e na XXIII Bienal Internacional de Arte de Cerveira (2024).
Recebeu apoio do Programa de Apoio a Projectos da DGARTES - Artes Visuais 2023 para produzir o seu primeiro livro de fotografia KINGS & QUEENS.
Realizou a sua primeira curta-metragem documental na Guiné-Bissau, intitulada CONTRA A MARÉ (2024).
Frequentou o Master em Fotografia Artística no IPCI (Instituto de Produção Cultural e Imagem), a Masterclass Narrativa 2022/2023 e actualmente a frequentar o Mestrado de Antropologia, especialização em Culturas Visuais, na Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2024/2026).

After thirteen years working as a HR professional, she left the office setting behind to dedicate herself exclusively to photography, having sought to continually invest in her training.
Works on social and psychological issues through photography and film. She is interested in understanding how these mediums - never isolated from the social, economic and cultural context in which the work is made - can be a tool for connecting and understanding people and social relationships, and whether it can have a place of voice in political issues. Themes such as identity, gender and gender identity have been addressed in projects such as ATLETA, QUEENS and Disse Fêmea.
Her work has already been exhibited in Maus Hábitos, Porto (2023) and XXIII Cerveira International Art Biennale (2024).
Has received support from the DGARTES Project Support Program - Visual Arts 2023 to produce her first photography book KINGS & QUEENS.
