Background

About Sofia Almeida

A highly motivated engineer from the Faculty of Engineering of Porto’s University. Since always I’ve tried to develop myself not only in terms of technical knowledge but also in terms of soft skills, which I consider to be my strongest asset. The first challenge I set myself to do was to learn English, having attended an institute during 10 years and performed the FCE and CAE exams. Already during faculty, I attended a workshop concerning Team Leadership and Management as well as a workshop of LateX. During 3 years, I made part of a voluntary organization of students, BEST Porto, in which I had the opportunity to be involved in numerous projects. For example, I was responsible for organizing several engineering competitions: two local ones, one of them with 240 participants, one national and other in an international level. I was also responsible for several tasks related with Marketing, Fund Raising, Human Resources and Logistics. I consider myself a very dynamic and proactive person. Professionally, I’ve already performed several internships in diverse fields, including, Biomechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Biomaterials and Robotics. I’m very talkative, resilient, organized, responsible, creative and most of all I’m passionate. I include in my future perspectives working in a challenging environment in competitive organizations.
