Thank you, Professor Simon Lee and your amazing students, for the warm welcome and unforgettable city tour! Truly grateful for the hospitality and inspiring conversations!

Conference kickoff at the University of Macau!
The 3rd International Symposium on Chinese Medicine and Natural Products has just started, and I’m really excited to dive into a new research area and ready to learn!

Proud to share that my PhD research on indole-based scaffolds to tackle cancer & malaria was featured in the Boletim Química by the Portuguese Society of Chemistry! Science must go beyond labs, and communicating with non-experts is key to impact.

After time away to finish my PhD and navigate transitions, being part of #BioNatural2025 at CBIOS | Universidade Lusófona as an organizer was energizing. Grateful to reconnect with the science community and help shape this inspiring event! #WomenInScience #DrugDiscovery #MedChem #NaturalProducts

It’s been a year since I finished my PhD. The journey since felt like a new beginning—full of reflection, growth, and embracing uncertainty. The skills I gained keep evolving, and transitions take time. If you’re between steps, know you’re not alone. Your path is uniquely yours to create.

Got into chemistry for the potions.
Now, I design and synthesize molecules for cancer, malaria, TB, and autoimmune diseases.
