I have good teamwork skills that I have developed from my experience as a teacher at Centro Novas
Oportunidades and also from my experience, as a student, as a member of República Rosa
Luxemburgo (students' community house) in Coimbra. I can easily adapt to multicultural
environments, as I did during my SOCRATES/ERASMUS student year in Nottingham where I had the
opportunity to share classes and housing with students from different nationalities. At the present, I am
a volunteer at MUDA -Association for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights where I work in
project design and as a translator and reviser.
I have good organisational and project management skills. As a member of República Rosa
Luxemburgo, Coimbra, I have participated in the promotion and organisation of cultural events such
