About Joana Castro

Hi, I’m JoanaA little bit of myself…When people ask me what defines me as a person I always say creativity. I am a Creative person. On top of that I am a polymath. I love an array of different things, and most importantly, I enjoy to combine them in a way that no one has done it before. I like to take advantage of my unique skills and paint a unique canvas.That lead me to my most recent adventure, where I created a unique educational nutrition platform with tasty healing recipes with the goal to help everyone find their own balance and own their energy. (Join the community 👉 www.myowntruebalance.com) But do you want to know more about how I got here? I WILL TRY TO SUMMARISE BY PROFESSIONAL PATH... My professional career and academic studies have been diverse. I studied Nuclear Medicine, then Biomedical Engineering and later on I did an intense course on Theatre, Cinema and Arts.(Almost in a previous life) I started by working at a hospital, then I did research on radio-pharmacy and atomic and molecular physics, I worked as a Frontend Developer, as Program/Project Manager and UX /UI Designer.I’ worked at Microsoft for seven years as an Engineer and Program Manager. Over these years, I have had the privilege of being a keynote speaker and trainer at global events. My contributions as a Community New Hires Ambassador and New Hires Community EMEA Lead have been significant. I was also honoured with the Customer Hero Global Impact Award.In addition to all that I’ve shared, if you do not find me at the kitchen developing new recipes I will most likely devote time to my other passions such as composing music, drawing, traveling, writing, reading, somewhere in nature or even more likely at the sea.

Listed skills include Quality Management, Physics, Spectroscopy, Labspec, and 35 others.
