Summary
Portuguese by nationality, raised in France, and currently based in London, I am a fourth-year International Relations student at Universidad Europea de Madrid, currently on academic exchange at LSE IDEAS. My studies have fostered a strong interest in geopolitics, humanitarian action, and in understanding how our major international institutions function and shape real-world outcomes. I am driven by curiosity and a desire to keep learning, questioning, and being challenged, and I value environments that encourage critical thinking and new perspectives. As part of my final year, I am seeking a compulsory internship starting in April 2026 for a total of 225 hours over three to four months. I am particularly motivated to join New Philanthropy Capital to contribute to its research and impact-focused work while gaining hands-on experience in the UK social sector
