I am an anthropologist, consultant and teacher/trainer with expertise in research methodologies, international development, oral history and archives. I have a PhD in Education and International Development, specialising in Sub-Saharan Africa (College of Social Sciences, University of Brighton, UK, 2016), a Master's in Social Sciences/Anthropology (ICS/UL, 2004), and a BA in Anthropology (4-year degree, FCSH/UNL, 1996). As an anthropologist, I conduct research on identity and the transmission of memory across three generations in Africa and Europe. As a consultant, I work with international and national organisations in areas such as social health, gender, politics, human rights, migration, communication and education. As a teacher and trainer, I have been working in Mozambique, the UK, and Portugal. I am currently based in Portugal, where I conduct academic research at CRIA/ISCTE-IUL and work as a senior MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning) researcher on projects at CECOA. Since graduating in anthropology in 1996, I have been involved in several academic and non-academic projects.
