Marco de Canavezes. You might have never heard about this place, but I was born there. Near Oporto, involved by Tamega River. My childhood was full of adventures and dreams, between heroes and fairy-tales, surrounded by family and friends, love and principles for life. A happy childhood makes me stand, today, as a mother, for an even better time for the youthful of my children. Those where the years the sense of freedom and curiosity sustained my evolution as a young girl and, later, as a woman. Yes, I treasure those memories and experience, as I cherish all the accomplishments in my life. I fought for them. 

Pathways led me to legal and justice education and challenges. I think fighting for fairness has been within me ever since. But there comes a time when to deliver only the professional side of me – as a lawyer or as a speaker – wasn´t enough to fulfil the need of learning, discovering new trends, masterminding ideas and, most of all, aggregating all within a lively citizenship. I strengthened my beliefs in the power of Humanity, in the opportunity brought along with an approach to a renaissance of men and women at their best as Human.
