About me

I am an economist and artist, passionate about studying, teaching, and singing. Born in Venezuela, I grew up in Castelo Branco, in the Portuguese countryside, and have lived in Lisbon since 2004.

I hold a Master’s in Economics and am pursuing a PhD in the same field. For twelve years I directed Montes Claros, a university residence in Lisbon, and I am now financial co-director and director of studies of Opus Dei in Portugal — a Catholic organization I have belonged to since 2005 — supporting the regional vicar. I am also an Invited Teaching Assistant in Economics at Católica-Lisbon and ISCTE-IUL.

I am also a lyric baritone — executive director of the quartet 4 Voices and a member of the Lisbon Chamber Choir. More about my music →
