Profile
I received her BA in Psychological Sciences and an Integrated Masters' in Clinical Psychogerontology at the Faculty for Psychology and Education Sciences in the University of Coimbra, Portugal. In 2020, I completed my PhD in Neuropsychology, in which I focused on how spontaneous memories and future thoughts change with aging. Previously, I did research on how to use physical action to improve memory in older people, collaborated with Third Age universities and worked as a clinical psychologist in primary care. I am nterested in cognitive aging in healthy and pathological populations, and in applied research that aims to promote successful aging and/or improve care in pathological aging and neuropsychological impairment, including care homes.
