Global Shaper

Global Shapers Porto Hub
Year:
November 2024 - Current

I do volunteering work in the Porto Hub, which is a part of the Global Shapers Community, a volunteering initiative from the World Economic Forum (WEF).

I organized the Iberian retreat in September 2025, bringing together 80 Shapers from across Spain and Portugal plus invited guests for a weekend retreat in Porto.

I'm currently leading the Digital Upskilling project, where we're developing programs to give high school students from underrepresented communities the tools and knowledge they need for the digital economy. We're focusing on areas like technology, automation, and artificial intelligence, skills that are becoming essential but aren't always accessible to students in public schools or poorer areas.
