My career has been guided by the principles of Open Science (OS), inclusion, and diversity, values that I have instilled in my team. Along this journey, I have supervised 49 individuals, including astronomers, engineers, project officers, and communication experts (6 doctoral theses, with two more in progress, and 5 master’s theses). I have also formed a diverse team of 20 people from 6 countries (Angola, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Spain, and Sweden), always ensuring that women strengthen their leadership roles. Most of my graduates have worked or are working in relevant international centres.

I promote gender equality and inclusion trough committees and Initiatives: I am a member of the Inclusiveness and Women in Science group within the Africa-Europe Radio Astronomy Platform and the African Network of Women in Astronomy (AfNWA). I have also served on the organizing committee of a special session in the Africa-Europe Science and Innovation Summit and was a panelist in the round table on Policy Recommendations for Gender Equality at the Science Summit at the 76th United Nations General Assembly (2021). In these forums, I emphasize the need to humanize science to facilitate work-life balance. I have conducted numerous outreach and dissemination activities, to raise awareness of the relevance and impact of science on technology and innovation. These include: talks, panels and round tables, documentaries and popular science articles, or radio/press interviews.

I believe that developing an SRC platform integrating OS and sustainability is essential for transforming how we conduct science. It provides tools for collaborative work, accelerates knowledge transfer to society, and facilitates objective evaluation through transparency, which is particularly important for women in environments where their contributions are often overlooked. We are playing a key role in ensuring the next generation of radio astronomers adheres to the principles of FAIR and OS. These efforts have been recognised by SKA, which has acknowledged me as a  key community leader promoting SKAO as a role model for Open Science and its impact on improving the quality of science and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3, 4, 5, 10, and 17).
