Y Talents - Discover Margarida Abreu's B side!

Tell us a little about your background, where do you come from, what and where was your training and how long ago did you join Yunit?

Born and raised in Vila Franca de Xira, I am a typical Ribatejo native who really likes the suburbs and little of the hustle and bustle of the city. 😁 I graduated in Visual Arts and Technologies at Eselx (Higher School of Education) and in the same year started a specialization in Digital Marketing. For many it seems like I've been at Yunit for a long time, but in reality it's only been a year, and one thing's for sure, time gone by very fast! 😋

Tell us about a project or moment that particularly motivated you or challenged you in an unexpected way.

I think that in general, since the day I joined Yunit I feel like I always have new challenges to overcome, it's a totally different area of ​​work from mine and this means that the creative process has to be even more outside the box.

How would you describe Yunit’s culture?

Simple and relaxed, with lots of knowledge sharing and mutual help.

What advice would you give to someone who has just strarted a job at Yunit?

Don't be afraid of making mistakes and taking risks, this is the only way we can learn and improve our knowledge, whether inside or outside our area. Also share your essence and have fun throughout the process.😊

If you hadn't chosen to work in a Consultant, is there any other sector of activity you would have chosen?

Since I was 16/17 years old, every year, in the summer, I went to work at a Holiday Camp in Castelo do Bode. Therefore, I think it would be something connected both with nature (I'm a proud mother of plants) but also with children. Maybe a teaching farm?

Tell us about a hobby you have or an activity you really want to do one day!

Well, I practice Crossfit, I train every day and it is already essential in my routine. I think it's a modality that everyone should try (I'm launching a challenge here in case you haven't noticed 🤪), it's adapted to all ages and difficulties, it really is something challenging every day! I can share that last year, months before joining Yunit, I injured my wrist, the prognosis was that it would take months to regain full mobility in my wrist and it might not even be at 100%. But with the help of the trainers, with adapted exercises and physiotherapy sessions, I was able to get back to working and training in record time. The recovery was complete, so I really challenge you to go try it and spend time with the Crossfit community, the spirit is incredible. 💪🏻

What recommendation for a book, trip or other activity stood out to you and would you like to share with us?

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho was one of my summer books this year, and I loved it!

THE B SIDE

What is your idea of ​​happiness? A late afternoon with my closest group of people on a terrace or balcony, something simple, just talking and enjoying. Knowing that everything is fine with the ones I love most.

What is your most striking characteristic? Determined.

What characteristic do you like most about yourself? Honesty, my facial expression always says it all😅

What characteristic do you like most in others? Empathy, sense of mutual help.

If you could choose a super power, what would it be? Teleportation, the ease of being in different places would make it a little easier for me and allow me to saved time ahah

What can't you live without? Coffee, I have already admitted it in public and I reiterate that my morning coffee cannot be missed.🥸

Tell us a song that you love and have enjoyed over the last few months? I don't really have a favorite style of music, I listen to a little bit of everything. This always depends a little on the mood 😅 but I can say that lately I listen to Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses almost every day.
