International Business Graduate · Aspiring Corporate Diplomat · Accounting & Programming · Founder of The Global Girl Journal
I am an International Business Management graduate, and an aspiring corporate diplomat. Born in Mozambique, raised across several countries and now based in Portugal, an international outlook has always shaped the way I work and see the world.
My degree at the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança followed the Bologna Process and was taught entirely in English. Across it I worked in depth with International Business, Economics, Accounting, Information Technology and Programming, International Relations and Business Strategy. I spent an Erasmus+ semester at the Università di Bologna and completed a corporate-communications traineeship in Florence.
The programming interest is hands-on: I design, build and manage websites and digital projects myself. I built this portfolio, and I founded, designed, built and write The Global Girl Journal — an independent editorial publication I run end to end, from the website to every article.
I am now seeking international graduate and trainee opportunities in corporate diplomacy, communications, business strategy and global affairs, and I am applying for Master's programmes.
Degree completed. Coursework spanned international business, economics, accounting, information technology and programming, international relations and business strategy.
A semester at one of Europe's oldest universities, focused on International Relations, Economics and Law, in a highly international, cross-cultural academic environment.
My Bachelor's capstone examined how artificial intelligence is reshaping corporate diplomacy and sustainability within tourism organisations — looking at strategic adaptation, stakeholder relationships and digital transformation in an international business context.
An independent digital journal I conceived and run entirely on my own — I built the website, designed the brand, set the editorial direction and write every article myself. It covers life, culture, money, business, technology, faith and world affairs, published on Substack and read internationally.
I designed and coded this portfolio and the journal's website myself, in vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript — from layout and typography to responsiveness and SEO. These projects are where my interest in programming took practical shape.
During my Erasmus+ semester at the Università di Bologna, I completed coursework and projects in International Relations, Economics and Law — engaging with global governance, diplomatic theory and cross-border legal frameworks, and how organisations operate in multilateral settings.
I researched and presented at an IPB conference on integrating students from Portuguese-speaking African countries in Portugal — mapping the social, cultural, academic and administrative barriers they face and proposing practical inclusion strategies.
Every piece — and both the journal and this portfolio — is researched, written, designed and built by me.
Open to international trainee programmes, graduate roles and editorial collaborations.
