She obtained 72% of the votes cast and became the third woman to head the organization,after Margarida Marques (1981-1984) and Jamila Madeira (2000-2004). At around the same time she was subject to some controversy concerning a falsification of her curriculum vitae (CV) by claiming to have a master's degree,as well as embezzlement through employment contracts she had been given by local councils in the Lisbon area. However,in 2019 she was elected as a member of the national Assembly of the Republic,representing the Braga constituency.

In the National Assembly she worked on the Commission of Education,Science,Youth and Sport and the Ad hoc Commission to monitor the application of measures to respond to COVID-19 and the economic and social recovery process. In the January 2022 elections,she was placed 27th on the list of PS candidates for Lisbon,but the PS only won 21 of the 48 seats available. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
