Beatriz Garrido

Hi! My name is Beatriz, I'm from Portugal, and I’ve always been a curious, energetic, and enthusiastic person with a deep love for both biology and psychology. Since I was very young, these two passions have grown with me, and what truly excites me is the challenge of bringing them together, of understanding and identifying behaviours, but also of going deeper and exploring the biological roots behind them.

I’m especially fascinated by how behaviour is shaped, why we act the way we do, and how biology can help explain what is happening underneath. That constant desire to understand people, animals, and the mechanisms behind behaviour is something that motivates me a lot, maybe even a little too much sometimes (PLEASE tell me to shut up if necessary)

I’m also completely crazy about photography, and I honestly can’t help but try to fit it into almost everything I do. But my love for art doesn’t stop there: cinema, dance, and even winemaking all have a special place in my heart, although, for this last one, to be fair, I probably enjoy the art of drinking wine even more.

Outside of that, I’m a very active and upbeat person who enjoys being in nature, travelling, and staying curious about the world around me. I like meaningful conversations, creative things, and anything that challenges me to think differently and keep learning
