About me

I am communication specialist with +10 years of experience researching and creating content for news media, political parties, B2B marketing agencies, and non-profits. I currently use my skills to support engagement and capacity building initiatives at IDB Invest.

I have written about International Relations, International Organizations, Venezuelan Politics and its Economy, Latin American Design and Architecture, and the World's Maritime Industry.

I could talk all day about sustainable development and world politics, so if you need to change the topic just ask me for a movie recommendation... I have seen them all (yes, that one too!)

Besides going to the cinema, on my spare time, I volunteer at Amazona Foundation, an NGO focused on fostering Gender Equality and Women Empowerment through education and advocacy initiatives.

I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and I am currently working on my Portuguese and French.
