I am a science communicator that works at the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Portugal, as the coordinator of the Science Communication Group. With about 20 years of experience in the area, I have led, developed and participated in several projects, national and international, which aim to make science, in particular Astronomy, accessible and close to everyone. As part of my work, I develop strategies to involve young students and researchers in science communication and education, with the aim of creating an early awareness of the importance of this area. I'm the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) national outreach coordinator for Portugal and I also lead the IAU’s sub-Working Group for “Hospitals, Children Homes, Nursing Homes and Prisons”, as part of the Working Group of the Executive Committee for Equity and Inclusion.
