ABOUT ME
Hey there! I'm delighted that you ended up in this page — welcome!
I'm Anna! I'm both portuguese and italian, born in Lisbon in 1999, the year of "I Want It That Way" and "...Baby One More Time". I speak Portuguese, Italian and English and I try to refine my knowledge every day, as I love to discover new facts! My creativity always pushed me forward and think outside the box. Since I was a teenager I found interest in trying to find different ways to express myself, starting a Youtube channel in 2014, growing up to nearly 4000 subscribers.
I graduated from NOVA School of Science and Technology in Lisbon with a Bachelor's in Biochemistry. Right after, I decided to do a volunteer trip to a conservation centre for marine turtles. This one-month trip, working in sandals and VERY bad wi-fi, was my shocking awakening to the human impact on the environment and society. At the end of 2021, I enrolled in SheCodes bootcamp. This enriching hands-on experience working with front-end and responsive development tools showed me what I was truly passionate about and, unbeknownst to me, I fell in love with technology! Later on, I received Google's UX certificate, with three case studies and all the tools needed to reinforce my knowledge in User Experience design.
If you haven't guessed it yet, you'll now know: I'm a total geek! I go to EVERY premiere of every Marvel Studios and Star Wars movie that comes out. In my free time, I love to read fiction/fantasy or watch educational documentaries. And as if that wasn't enough, I spend every minute I can listening to music. I currently have around 30 different playlists on Spotify that I created for every genre/mood/vibe (I promise I'm not crazy).
I'm adaptable, resilient and motivated to discover more, able to work under deadlines and in a team. I like to believe I can always do better than my previous work so, I keep pushing myself to dream bigger! I know how to work with clients and seek their needs, making both the client and the company happy. I'll never say to you that I can do everything you ask of me, but I'll definitely promise you that I'll do my research and gain new skills. After all, I love to learn! The one thing I ask in return is a happy and healthy work environment, where employees have equal opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
