“I was born in Lisbon; in 2019 I moved to the west, where I already had family and now have friends for life.
I’m a people person and I value freedom, as well as other values such as trust, justice and humility. I believe that a sense of humour is a ‘lifesaver’ and makes life a bit lighter, which is why I really enjoy laughing and being around cheerful people. I’m a fan of outdoor activities, the heat and the beach.
As someone with a passion for the healthcare sector, I graduated in pharmaceutical sciences from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Lisbon.
As well as my experience in community pharmacy, I spent seven years working as a consultant in the field of healthcare information systems. This experience has made me appreciate resilience and team spirit even more – skills that we work on extensively in our day-to-day work at Correia Rosa pharmacies.”

If you could solve one problem in the world, which one would you choose and why?
Poverty / Inequality in access to essential goods. There is nothing more unjust than being born in the wrong place at the wrong time, and for that reason – and that reason alone – being condemned to a life without the bare necessities, a life of indignity and without access to basic human rights.
