Biography

[edit]

Daughter to parents from Vila do Cano, in Sousel, she was born in Lourenço Marques (known as Maputo from 1976), having lived in Beira, a Mozambican city, until she was 12 years old. Her father was in the military and she has a brother and sister who both studied medicine.

She has a degree in Civil Engineering, specializing in Urbanization and Transport, from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) of the Technical University of Lisbon in 1986 and a master's degree in Transport from the same institution in 1992, where she is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesources, since 1989.

Since 1989 she has been a researcher at CESUR - Centre for Urban and Regional Systems at IST.[3] She is married to Eduardo Cabrita, a colleague in the Government as Minister of Internal Affairs and has no children by choice. They live in Almoster, in the district of Santarém.

From 2005 to 2009, Vitorino served as the Secretary of State for Transport. Elected as a deputy in the Assembly of the Republic in the 2019 Portuguese legislative election she resigned in mid-2021 to be replaced by Sofia Andrade.[2][4] In August 201 she took up the position of Chair of the Management Board of the Portuguese Mobility and Transport Authority, Autoridade da Mobilidade e dos Transportes.[5]
