About me

I am a creative communicator who is passionate about the transformative power of communication in society. After working for 10 years with civil society organizations, I have developed skills and knowledge to promote processes of information, participation, and action through the strategic use of new information technologies, digital and journalistic communication. I am an expert in building and maintaining strong and positive relationships with the media for social dialogue and the positioning of ideas, brands, and narratives.

My experience includes building and leading communication teams and departments, designing and executing effective strategies, and coordinating and managing financial aspects of international cooperation projects. I am committed to social change and promoting more effective and just communication in society.

I also have extensive experience in community communication processes and active engagement with indigenous peoples, farmers, women, women's networks, and young people at local, national, regional, and international levels.
