Sou uma jovem de 46 anos, com facilidade de interacção em contextos variados, e com capacidade de diálogo e discussão de ideias. A idade permitiu-me adquirir uma panóplia de experiências, na sua vasta maioria na área de arquitectura e imobiliário. A nível social, tenho interesse em discussões salutares, procurando sempre defender o meu ponto de vista, sem nunca menosprezar o ponto de vista de terceiros. Gosto de incentivar a argumentação e o desenvolvimento de ideias através de uma dinâmica de grupo, no sentido de encontrar complementaridade entre elementos. Acredito nas competências adquiridas através do conhecimento empírico e não apenas pelo científico ou académico. E que a comunicação verbal, quando adequada, é o pilar do sucesso de qualquer organização. I'm an experienced and dynamic professional with a strong background in architecture and real estate, supported by over 20 years of diverse experience. Highly skilled in interpersonal communication, with a natural ability to engage in constructive dialogue and idea exchange across varied contexts. Adept at leading group discussions, fostering collaboration, and encouraging the development of innovative and complementary ideas. Believer in the value of empirical knowledge and continuous learning, with a strong emphasis on effective verbal communication as a key driver of organizational success. Highly adaptable to new environments — whether personal, academic, or professional — and consistently recognized for a positive, solutions-oriented approach to project management. A naturally creative thinker who thrives in challenging environments that stimulate innovation and support the development of fresh solutions and ideas. Ability to interact with other individuals on several contexts, through dialog and debate. I have a personal interest discussing issues with colleagues and clients, always defending my point of view but never underestimating the opposed point of view. Self-educated on a wide range of areas, I find rewarding implementing gathered knowledge into any project I develop. I tend to be easy going but if by any chance it’s required to assume a more formal posture, I’m your (wo)man.
