CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life! :)

ABOUT ME

I was born in Santarém. At the age of 18 I enrolled niversity but not in the career that I wanted, so, the next year I switched schools and started to study Medicine at University of Madeira. Now I’m attending the 4th year at University of Lisbon. When I finish school I would like to do my medical residency in Sweden or Norway.

I’m an open-minded, easygoing person, who tries to learn as much as possible from every experience and live life intensely. I hate to be stalled and I always have something on my mind to perform. Unfortunately I don’t have time to do all the things I would like to.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hapiness is hot chocolate on a cold day!"
Enjoy the small pleasures of life and look on the bright side of each situation.

to go out, show the city around or have a drink.
