I was born in Vila Real in 1978. I finished my PhD in medieval literature in 2017, in which I studied the representation of king Alfonso VI of León and Castille in the 11th and 12th centuries historiographies and charters. I also have been working on the representation of power and female fictional figures in medieval iberian literature. Other research topics include: historiography and translation in the middle ages (Arabic to Latin and to Galician-Portuguese); textual criticism with participation on critical and/or digital edition of pre-modern texts; medievalism (specially the representation of the Middle Ages in cinema.

I am also a translator of medieval and modern poetry.
