My Passionate Pursuits
Amateur Actor
Lights, camera, action! From the earliest days of my life, the allure of the stage has held me captive. The thrill of stepping into someone else's shoes, of embodying a character's hopes, dreams, and fears, has become my ultimate passion. Acting allows me to explore the depths of human emotions and bring them to life in ways that connect with audiences on a profound level.
​
The joy of collaborating with fellow actors and directors, cannot be overstated. Together, we weave a tapestry of creativity, working harmoniously to create a memorable experience for our audiences. The bond formed within the acting community is truly special, and I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and learn from talented individuals who share my passion.
As an amateur actor, I am constantly seeking opportunities to hone my craft. With every performance, I strive to sharpen my skills, pushing boundaries and exploring the vast spectrum of human emotions. Every script I encounter is an invitation to immerse myself in a new world, to explore the nuances of different characters and bring them to life with authenticity and depth.
Skateboard
Skateboarding is a constant journey of self-improvement and personal growth. I've been skating since I'm 12, many times when I missed the bus to school, the skate was my ticket to arrive school in time! It teaches me resilience, perseverance, and the value of determination. Every time I fall, I get back up with renewed determination and the drive to conquer the next trick. Skateboarding has taught me that failure is just a stepping stone towards success and that true progress comes from pushing beyond comfort zones.
Skateboarding isn't just about the tricks and flips; it's about exploring the world around us. From skate parks to urban landscapes, every location becomes an opportunity for adventure. Skateboarding allows me to see the world through a different lens, to find hidden spots and secret treasures in the most unexpected places.
Cooking
Cooking is probably my biggest hobby. My passion started after spending hours watching my grandmother make her delicious dishes. Cooking now is also a way to remember and pay her homage. The kitchen is my sanctuary, a place of creativity, experimentation, and sheer joy. It is a space where I can unleash my imagination, where mistakes become valuable lessons, and where even the simplest ingredients can be transformed into extraordinary dishes.
Funny fact, the dish on the left, "alheira"(a type of Portuguese sausage, made with bread, garlic and chicken) and spinach meatballs with corn puree and garlic mayonnaise, I used it to compete for Masterchef in Portugal, and ended up being selected, unfortunately it was not my goal at the time to participate in the program, but just to test myself and see if I would be selected.
Guitar
The first time I touched a guitar, it was after a visit to my cousins house, he was an amateur player, he played a bit and told me that to master a guitar is something that would require many hours and dedication. At that moment, I have accepted the challenge, and went right away to my mother and asked to have some lessons. At the age of 10 I started playing my instrument of choice. I had a band on high school, and our biggest achievement was to play in the end of year party.
The guitar has taught me the value of patience, dedication, and discipline. Mastering this instrument requires hours of practice, but with every chord progression, I am rewarded with a sense of achievement and progress. But the best of all is being able to play a few chords at the end of the day, in a peaceful environment.
