Hola ,

After a career in the tech and corporate world, I now live globally, supporting purpose-driven organizations through social impact programs and communication strategies. I firmly believe in the power of communities and meaningful connections to shape a better world. As a multilingual communicator with global experience across five cities and three continents, I have worked with a diverse range of industries, including global organizations, foundations, public-private partnerships, and startups.

Driven by passion and curiosity for fast and creative solutions, I offer clear, empathetic, and personalized advice tailored to each client’s unique needs. In my newsletter, I explore my journey in International Development, Social Impact, Human Rights, living abroad, and volunteering

—because, ultimately, why are we here if not to help others?

Been a part of:

I launched The Winged Foundation in 2022 to empower and support Latin American children and youth in finding their life’s purpose through educational scholarships and programs. 

I now use my firsthand experience navigating the challenges and successes of running a non-profit to provide valuable guidance and mentorship to other organizations working towards social good.
