I obtained a Ph.D. in Psychology from Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon. My research delves into the role of perceived discrimination, particularly microaggressions, in the psychological acculturation process of immigrant women. I am involved in several academic activities, including membership in the LaEuMIDi and IACCP E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Committees. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology of Intercultural Relations, and my academic journey is complemented by a robust background in intercultural competence, communication, and diversity training. Previous engagements, including activities as a certified diversity trainer in Portugal with a CCP (Certificado de Competencias Pedagogicas) and work at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), underscore my commitment to addressing challenges related to culture, (in)equality, diversity, and migration.
