Specialist areas
Portuguese issues: current affairs, politics, economy, society, travel, sports, arts, and other editorial formats. Besides being a freelance journalist for international press, I'm the deputy-editor in MCR newsroom, a media group that owns several radio stations in Portugal (Rádio Comercial, M80, Smooth FM, Cidade FM). So, I work daily with all segments of news production. I'm, also, a freelance photographer.
