She holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Aveiro and is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Instituto Superior Técnico. She does not hold teaching roles.

At ITI, her work lies at the intersection of virtual reality, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. Her master’s thesis focuses on developing a VR animation system that allows animators to embody virtual characters and generate animations through natural movement. By integrating VR headsets, motion sensors, and facial tracking, the project bridges motion capture with keyframe editing workflows, complemented by user studies with animators to assess usability and creative impact.
