Great stories aren't just told. They are crafted.

About Me

I despise boring, unimaginative copy. Don't you?

Born in a valley and raised by a cobbler and a chocolate-maker, I grew up thinking I'd study the pink dolphins that inhabit the Amazon River. Instead, I discovered that I'd rather swim in stories than in the cold, unforgiving waters of the jungle.

Still, a background in science powers my research skills. I love to dig deeper in order to understand the intricacies of each subject I cover.

I write for people, whether it is to inform or to create a connection.

The Borgen Project USA

Journalist

As a journalist for this non-profit, I researched and wrote well-informed articles on global poverty, development, and humanitarian issues to support advocacy efforts. For each article, I conducted in-depth research to fact-check data and assess policy impacts. It was imperative to track current events and global trends to produce relevant, timely content that aligned with The Borgen Project’s mission.

Additionally, to support fundraising campaigns, I developed compelling content to raise awareness through blog posts and social media.

Los Tres AAAs | Anchor SAS Colombia

Social Media Manager

I've become a jack-of-all-trades for this role, setting up the communications infrastructure for a group of hotels, including websites, social media feeds, event participation, and media production.

I've planned and executed communication strategies for holidays and recurring occasions, largely increasing booking and attendance rates, and engaged with clients directly to ensure a satisfactory experience from start to end.

Finally, directing the creation of the company’s internal booking and payments system, while creating documentation and leading training for employees on the new booking systems and communication infrastructure.

Dephion Technologies The Netherlands

Contract - Script Writer

An unusual and satisfying set of tasks awaited me at Dephion Technologies. I gave voice to their digital avatar during the development of the Delphic System, building different narratives and voices. At the same time, I had a chance to explore and experiment with LLM prompt design.

Dephion B.V. The Netherlands

Freelance Writer

Dephion's spectacular work environment was a masterclass in employee satisfaction. While working remotely with their Communications Team, I drafted internal and external communications, including blogs and social updates, and learned to capture the company's voice and tone.

For the Habitc project, I created a library of 100+ health and well-being articles, performing extensive research to ensure accuracy. And, I monitored current events for potential story ideas or topics relevant to company objectives.

Full collaboration with editors and designers on various projects led to successful copy for websites, social profiles, and internal newsletters. Also, editing outgoing copy to ensure adherence to company guidelines on tone and language

During my time at Dephion, I conducted interviews with subject matter experts to obtain relevant information.
