Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal
Perfectionist by nature, I appreciate challenges that allow me to apply my analytical skills. I try to continuously improve by deepening my technical knowledge. With a background in mathematics, I am currently working in health economics, mostly developing economic evaluation studies for reimbursement request of innovative medicines for Portugal. I have good software skills, being proficient in Microsoft Excel + Visual Basic for Applications, R (statistical programming software), Anylogic (multi-paradigm simulation modelling software) and Sawtooth Software Lighthouse Studio.
Management, technical supervision and execution of economic evaluation studies (mainly cost-effectiveness and/or budget impact analyses) of health technologies.
In my role as a Quantitative Methods Analyst, I focus on Health Technology Assessment, playing a key role in a variety of projects both in Portugal and abroad. My area of expertise is in health economic modeling, employing techniques including Markov modeling, discrete event simulation, agent-based modeling, and system dynamics modeling. I also apply sophisticated methods such as survival analysis, indirect treatment comparisons, and multi-criteria decision analysis to improve project results. This role has sharpened my analytical abilities and given me a deep insight into the evolving world of health technology assessment.
As a Junior Actuarial Analyst, I specialized in conducting detailed actuarial assessments for the pension plans of private companies in Germany and the United Kingdom. My role involved analyzing and forecasting the financial liabilities associated with these pension schemes, using actuarial techniques. This position required a deep understanding of pension regulations in both countries. Through this experience, I developed a strong foundation in actuarial science.
As a part-time Mathematics Tutor, I provided personalized support to high school students facing challenges in understanding various mathematical concepts. My approach was tailored to each student's individual learning style and areas of difficulty, with the aim of enhancing their comprehension and problem-solving skills. This role involved not only teaching mathematical theories and principles but also developing effective strategies to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of mathematics. Through this experience, I honed my ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible manner, contributing to the academic growth of my students.
As a University Tutor, I had the opportunity to teach practical classes across a diverse range of subjects, tailoring my approach to the unique demands of each discipline. My responsibilities included teaching practical classes of: - ‘Elements of Linear Algebra’ for the Bachelor in ‘Computer Science’. - ‘Elements of Differential Calculus’ for the Bachelor in ‘Information and Communication Technologies’. - ‘Mathematics I’ for the Bachelor in ‘Geology’. - ‘Mathematics for Biologists’ for the Bachelor in ‘Biology’. - ‘Differential and Integral Calculus II’ for the Bachelor in ‘Applied Statistics’. This experience allowed me to develop a versatile teaching style, adept at conveying complex mathematical ideas to students from various academic backgrounds.
