Holds a degree in Zootechnical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Animal Science Technologies from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal. Since 2019, she has been a Higher Technical Officer at the National Institute for Agricultural and Veterinary Research (INIAV), where she conducts research in ruminant nutrition and sustainable animal production. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Agroindustrial Technologies at NOVA University Lisbon. Her research focuses on the valorization of agro-industrial co-products as alternative feed resources for ruminants, with emphasis on feed characterization, nutritional evaluation, animal performance, carcass and meat quality, and enteric methane emissions. Her work explores circular and innovative feeding strategies to improve resource efficiency, reduce dependence on conventional feed resources and mitigate the environmental impact of livestock production. She participates in research and innovation projects on circular economy, feed efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation, including the Capota Circular Feed project. Her main scientific interests are ruminant nutrition, agro-industrial co-products, alternative feed resources, sustainable livestock production, meat quality and enteric methane mitigation.
