I'm a Portuguese citizen, born in Lisbon, on the 4th of February of 1950.

I live in Lisbon, Portugal.

I'm divorced and mother of four children, three boys and one girl. 

I'm a PhD in International Relations. I worked as a Professor at the University, in Lisbon,, and as a Diplomat.

As a Diplomat, I was posted in Spain, Switzerland, India, Israel and Lithuania.

Now, I'm retired.

Having free time to explore new occupations, at the present I'm the President of the International Academy of the Portuguese Culture.

In the midst of all my professional activities, I could have time to do what I love the most: painting.
