2025 Margarida Sardinha

As President of Junior Data Consulting, the junior enterprise of NOVA IMS, Margarida Sardinha leads a dynamic team delivering data-driven solutions while promoting a culture of innovation and excellence. A finalist in the Bachelor’s in Data Science, she combines technical expertise – with particular interest in areas like Optimization Algorithms and Web Analytics – with strategic leadership to develop impactful projects.

With a background in youth entrepreneurship, having co-founded NOVAentrepreneurship and being an alumna of the NOVA Starters Academy, one of her goals is to help lay the foundations – from the students’ side – for NOVA IMS to be recognised as a reference in entrepreneurship.

In her free time, she remains active in TUIMS, valuing tradition as a compass for decision-making, while continuing to cultivate her musical ear – something she has nurtured since childhood.
