28 years old, Portuguese, born in Lisbon. Started my specialty in Family Medicine in 2019 at a clinical practice in Odivelas, the clinical health unit “Novo Mirante”, where I work at the moment. I did my general year of medicine in 2018 at the Central Lisbon Hospital Center and my master’s degree in Medicine at the Medical University of Lisbon, from 2011 to 2017. Since I always loved to travel and meet new cultures, I´ve decided to do my specialty in Traveler’s Medicine last year (2020) at the Institute of tropical medicine and hygiene. Children´s health was always a topic of interest for me and I´ve noticed that sleeping was a frequent problem for families with kids and that this was a topic that was often forgotten in our appointments, so I thought it would be an added value for me to learn more about this, in order to be able to properly advise the parents on this topic. Therefore I´ve started my post-graduation in “Infant and adolescent’s sleeping habits” at Lisbon´s Superior School of Health this year. I am also a member of the study group for addictive behaviors of the Portuguese Association of Family Medicine since 2020.
