WHAT HAVE I DONE?

HERE'S A SHOWCASE OF SOME OF MY ACADEMIC PROJECTS...

WHAT'S MY STORY?

WHO AM I?

I am now 25 years old and I was born in Madeira, a beautiful Island in the Atlantic. I was born back in the 80s' (I love 80s music!) on May 1st, which in Portugal is when we celebrate workers day.

I love beautiful places, I love my family and I love my cats!

I love cooking and taking a nap!

I kind of don't fancy green peas!

I believe the diference is in the details, so I'm a perfectionist.

I love colors, I'm glad I'm not monochromatic.

I just want to be happy :)
