About Joana Lopes

Passionate about a good story, I am trying to write mine with purpose and emotion, looking for exciting and fulfilling opportunities that can add value to my life and allow me to add value to a meaningful project at the same time. I have experience in Project Management, Advocacy, Policy Making and Business and Administrative Work, having worked with the private sector, NGOs and Government/European Institutions, understanding the various dynamics of the different sectors. I hold a Master of Laws (LLM) in International and European Law from NOVA School of Law, and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in International Relations from the University of Coimbra, having always focused my studies in security and humanitarian issues. I am fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with a working knowledge of French, and have multiple certifications that are complementary to my main educational degrees. My core competencies include project management, advocacy, written communication, report, negotiation, and research. I am passionate about creating a positive impact in other people's lives and contributing to global peace and security.
