Portuguese harpsichordist, currently enrolled in Master's, orientated by Fabio Bonizzoni on the main subject. 

She started her music studies on the violin in 1996, and one year later on the harspichord.

In 2003 concluded the basic course on the violin, proceeding her studies on the harpsichord. The continuity of her higher studies in music took her to Lisbon where she first started her degree in Early Music in the Superior School of Music with Cremilde Rosado Fernandes and one year later with Ana Mafalda Castro with whom she concluded with success her diploma in 2009.

The desire to cross borders and seek more knowledge and experience in the field of early music led her in that same year to The Netherlands where she concluded in 2013 the bachelor's degree with Jacques Ogg. 

To improve her technique and develop her interpretation she attended different courses, lessons and masterclasses in early music – solo instrument and chamber music – with David Moroney, Giorgio Cerasoli, Rinaldo Aessandrini, Richard Gwilt, Paul Dombrecht, Laura Pontecorvo, Andrea Coen, Álvaro Lopes Ferreira, Ana Mafalda Castro, Ketil Haugsand (Portugal), Petra Zenker (Vienna), Ilton Wjuniski (Paris) and Olivier Baumont (Daroca, Spain). 

Since 2009, she is co-founder and member of Les Esprits Animaux. The ensemble has been warmly acclaimed by audience and critics. In the beginning of 2011 it has recorded the first CD dedicated to "Telemann" and in 2013 the second one entitle "Transfigurations", both with Ambronay’s Editions, distributed by Harmonia Mundi.  The ensemble has presented itself through Europe in different venues and Festivals, and in Japan. Since 2010, its presence is regular in the Ambronay Festival.

In 2013, together with the violinist Javier Lupiáñez, created the DUO Vintem&Lupiáñez which concerts aim to promote the repertoire for solo harpsichord with the violin accompaniment.
