“Foi em setembro de 2009 que ingressei na licenciatura em Educação Social Gerontológica da Escola Superior de Educação do IPVC. Fui acolhida num ambiente de proximidade e familiaridade, o que tornou todo o percurso académico muito mais fácil! Brindada com desafios e acompanhada de professores empenhados em me fazer aprender e crescer, valorizando pontos fortes e aspetos a melhorar, transformei-me numa profissional desta área tão recente. Hoje, sou Gerontóloga Social e desenvolvo funções na instituição onde fiz o meu estágio curricular.”
