I am a PhD in Psychology at ISCTE-IUL, Portugal, and I also have a master's degree in Psychology, Counseling and Psychotherapy. I am currently a science Manager at CIS-Iscte (Centre for Psychological Research and Social Intervention) and I develop my work on Science Communication. Furthermore, I am an invited teacher at Master of Emotions at ISCTE-IUL and I collaborate as a reviewer in some international scientific publications in Psychology. I am author and co-author of several scientific publications, in international and peer-reviewed journals. My research interests focus on the study of health promotion in paediatric settings. More specifically, I am interested in the development of preparation programs about health and illness (in different application formats), and understanding how they might minimize children and parental negative responses to medical procedures; understand children's perceptions and attitudes about health and healthcare; and promote interventions for more inclusive societies
