I was born on the 28th of June, 1980, in Coimbra, Portugal. For 22 years I lived in a beautiful small village called Alcouce, in the region of Coimbra. In 2003, I completed my BA in Journalism, in the University of Coimbra. Since 1995 I had been working in the local College radio (Rádio Universidade de Coimbra), where I was a DJ, a journalist and President of the Board of Directors, in 2001. After being a trainee journalist in a national radio (TSF, in Lisbon), I flew to Macau to work in Radio Macau, the public service broadcaster, where I work as a journalist. Since 2005 I have been a contributor to Revista Macau (a Portuguese Speaking quarterly magazine), Hoje Macau (a Portuguese language daily newspaper) and Macau Business (a monthly English speaking magazine. In 2007 I completed a Master in European Studies, in the Institute of European Studies of Macau, a degree granted by the University of Macau, in cooperation with Université Libre de Bruxelles. My research focused on EU China relations, especially the cooperation in the Galileo Satellite Navigation System. Besides EU-China issues, I have been writing about China´s relations with Portuguese Speaking countries, Chinese foreign policy and Chinese political development.
