She has been a journalist since 1998, the year she completed her course in Communication and Media Studies at the University of Minho, before joining the editorial office at the «Publico» newspaper. She started working in the local section, where she wrote about planning and urbanism, then moved to the economy section, where she worked on topics such as public investment and housing policies.
She left the newspaper in 2011 to realise her personal project of a trip around the world as a family – reported weekly on the pages of «Fugas» magazine. She never stopped writing in the «Público», while also working with several national publications (such as «Evasões» and «TimeOut»). She was co-author of the Hotelandia project, where good examples of Portuguese hotels are published, and she returned to writing in the «Público» full-time in 2015. In 2021, she left the newspaper again to devote herself to the journalistic project «Faces of the Village», a platform where the stories of all those who contribute to depopulation not becoming an inexorable trend are published, reporting the inspiring cases of – young and old – people who struggle to reverse it.
