Born and raised in the Azores I live in São Miguel, a land where I have roots and affections. I am married and have two children who, due to the circumstances, were emigrated. Meanwhile, one returned to Portugal and the other remains abroad. I have always enjoyed teaching, an activity that I have developed since I graduated. I am interested in the themes of Family, Gender and Cultural Identity.
