About

I’m Mafalda, a pharmaceutical sciences graduate with a diverse career bridging healthcare, science communication, and the arts. I combine hands-on medical information, pharmacovigilance, and patient support with a creative side as a vocalist in a Portuguese traditional music group, Verde Canto.

Beyond my day-to-day roles, I enjoy teaching and engaging with communities. I’ve led science enrichment activities for schools, volunteered at cultural events, and always aim to promote health literacy and evidence-based advice across languages.

I am also working at pharmacy and developing contents for social media (instagram and facebook) with the help of canvas.
