I graduated in Nutrition Sciences (BSc) at Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences of the University of Porto, in 2012. Since then, I have worked as a Nutritionist in different areas, namely, Clinical Nutrition, Public Health and Community Nutrition, as well as within the Food Industry sector regarding Quality and Food Safety Systems management. In 2015, I undertook a graduate Course in Nutrition and Aging at Faculty of Biotechnology of the Portuguese Catholic University (ESB-UCP) and in 2016 finished a Master’s Degree in biotechnology and Innovation (Branch Human Nutrition) at the same institution, studying the relationship between food waste and nutritional status among Portuguese institutionalized elderly people. Currently, I am an FCT grant PhD student at ESB-UCP, studying the impact of a pulse-based partial replacement diet on human metabolome and health. My PhD thesis will be developed in frame of the European project TRUE.
