I’m a 24-year-old journalist from Portugal, driven by an unwavering passion for storytelling. My career has been shaped by internships and the realities of working in newsrooms where challenges are a daily occurrence. Yet, my curiosity and determination have led me to uncover and share stories that resonate.
I specialize in Politics and Security, with over four years of experience investigating topics such as the rise of the far-right and the shadowy operations of foreign espionage in Portugal.
I’m not one to stay still. The world is my canvas, and I draw inspiration from trailblazers like Ryszard Kapuściński, Martha Gellhorn, and Marie Colvin. I’m constantly on the move, searching for extraordinary stories—the kind that transcend time and leave an indelible mark. To me, journalism isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling and a legacy I hope to build.
