Biography

With a background as a certified lawyer in Brazil and Portugal and over ten years in the legal sector, I began a new career in England in 2021 within the smoking cessation department, initially as an administrative clerk. Since then, I have developed expertise in project management, data analysis, and smoking cessation strategies, becoming a certified smoking cessation advisor in 2022. I have gained extensive experience working in inpatient settings, assessing hundreds of patients, staff members, attending smoking cessation and health promotion events, and collaborating on new projects, such as establishing the preoperative smoking cessation service at LUHFT.
