I spent my childhood in the Limpopo Valley, where I did all the primary education. I then studied at Namaacha until the end of the first cycle (now fifth and sixth classes), and finished high school at Chokwe. The pre-university and the entire higher education course was done in Maputo, in the area of Agronomy in EMU. I did a master's degree specialization at the University of Minesota, USA, as well as other short-term courses with emphasis on management, leadership, development, consulting services, macroeconomics and English.

In working life I was a professor of secondary education (Mathematics, Music and French), a librarian at the Institute for Agricultural Research, an intern journalist at Noticias, Agronome and Director of State Enterprise at Niassa, Director General of INGC, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Transport and Communications, a consultant/advisor for international organizations and governments in Cape Verde, Eritrea, Angola,
Tanzania and South Africa, among others.

My hobbies are music (hearing and playing), gymnastics, research and reading.
