I am a dedicated marketer with the ability to quickly adapt to new environments. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have given the best of myself at every moment.
Well, I’ll be honest… I did not.
I was once a bewildered boy. I remember being unenthusiastic in high school, hardly valuing theoretical learnings. I was a dedicated footballer, practicing every single day to get as far as I could. And when I left school, I had no clue what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I started as a machine operator in a remarkable team in the moulding industry and became a programmer after a while. Even then I only knew one thing: that I knew nothing. Later, I moved to England to work for two of the largest fast-food companies in the world. Only after one and a half years (and a lot of experiences) I realised what I wanted. I realised that my way of thinking was distinct from that of my co-workers, and that I was particularly skilled at developing new product ideas and improving people's interpersonal relationships. And that was when I came back to Portugal to study what I became passionate about – marketing and communication.
I have learned from my successes and failures so that I could develop professionally and continue to build on my strengths. Despite my experience, I know there is always room for improvement, in myself and the others. My creativity has not been restricted to a single sector or business; I have worked in the wine industry, tourism, health care, sports and, most recently, renewable energy.
As an avid learner, I am always thrilled to pursue new knowledge and collaborate with people who inspire me. I totally feel I am a part of the global community because of its variety of people and cultures, hence my willingness to volunteer, work and study abroad. Whatever role I play in this community or the next one I join, it will be because of the people involved - their passions, skills, and experiences – that I am motivated to spread my ideas and the best I know.
So here is my story; I couldn't present myself professionally unless I first introduced myself personally.

I do not know everything. But I have an idea.
