I am made of this land. My grandparents were born here, as was my mother. For many years, she dedicated herself to selling seafood at the pier. I was fortunate to grow up near the beach, make my first friends, and create my earliest memories.

I have lived in Foz do Arelho my entire life. I attended nursery and primary school, participated in the “Jovens em Movimento” holiday camp, danced Hip Hop at the Centro, and took part in the ATL and Catechism programs.

While studying, I worked with my father in the family business. I earned a degree in Political Science and International Relations, but today I do what I love most: working with people and attending to their needs.

Two years ago, I became a mother. I realized that I had to look for a school outside Foz for my daughter, due to the lack of investment in education in our village and the limited options for younger children.

I hope that one day she will have the same opportunities I had: to study elsewhere, experience new things, and discover new places. But, like me, I hope she always returns home — to Foz.

I believe we need someone young, dynamic, and willing to change our land, or at least recover what has been lost over time. That is why I support this list: for a united, transparent, participatory, and dynamic Foz.

A renewed, revitalized Foz. Our favorite place.
