As a Political Science student, she showed a keen interest in the more methodological component of the course, namely the analytical and statistical part present in the Data Analysis Curricular Units, developing the basic skills for obtaining relevant and reliable knowledge.

Outside the academic environment, she is actively involved as a volunteer and manager in the Refood Nª Srª de Fátima association, motivated by the direct and positive effect her actions have on society.

Another volunteer project she took part in was being part of the organizing team for the 5th European Social Survey Conference, which took place at ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa.
