About Me

I'm a natural simple woman who grew up in a traditional portuguese welcoming family and understood that life is more meaningful when caring one another.

The day I have decided becoming a nurse, my life has diverted as I have never expected. During my holidays as a student, I have been an active helper participating in a volunteer associations with VIH patients, homeless people and discriminated woman.

Also, as an adult, I have belong to a children charity group who organized intermittent moral camps, giving to this children values, dreams and motivation to study, to explore their talents, to be a good human being, helping them to create their character in a very problematic family environments.

I actually enjoy a lot to meet new people and discover their amazing life stories, their efforts and struggles during this path.

One of the greatest things, I also appreciate in life, is the PachaMama, the Mother Nature who teaches how to bright with no cost, and how to share in silence. The sea represents my origin as I have grew up with the massive ocean in front of me. Anytime I wanted, the infinite was there for me! When I see him, I sigh, I smile and I totally relax. Fishing and sailing are the most common jobs all around my city and that´s why we divinely appreciate the sea.
