Communication/Culture/Brands  

These are the pillars on which both my client-side and agency experience have been built over the last ten years. During this journey I've held marketing roles at companies such as Itaú, one of the most prestigious brands in Brazil. On the Account Management side, I have served clients such as Apple  for Latam markets (BR,MX,CO, CL) as well as companies spanning industry segments such as Food, Cosmetics, Technology and Philanthropy. 


I'm a multitasking, goal-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and a unique combination of both strategic and creative perspectives. Trilingual: Portuguese, Spanish and English.  Crazy for peoples’ stories, for 80’ Music and of course, Carnaval!
