Who

With over eight years of experience in communications, advocacy, political education, feminist research, and movement-building, I specialize in amplifying the narratives of rights-based, social justice-driven organizations and movements. I have led digital strategies, driven impactful campaigns on SRHR, disability rights, gender-based violence, and anti-rights movements, and collaborated with multicultural teams at UNICEF, South Feminist Futures, Plan International, IPPF, GIZ, and other national and international nonprofits.

I am

A multilingual professional fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, I bring a strong background in digital mobilization, content strategy, and audience engagement. My academic experience includes institutions such as the University of Warwick, the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Latin American Social Sciences Council (CLACSO), and the University of Brasília.

Work & Projects

what i do

Digital Communications for Social Justice

I specialize in leveraging the power of digital communication to strengthen organizations driving social justice. From social media management and content strategy to campaign planning, narrative development, tone and voice guidelines, newsletters, and press relations—I’ve got it covered.

Digital Campaigning & Advocacy

I design and execute advocacy campaigns that mobilize communities, shape public opinion, and pressure governments and courts. Through clear messaging, strategic partnerships, and public mobilisation, I help turn awareness into action.

Content Creation & Audience-Engagement

I create multilingual, multi-format, and multimedia content that strengthens strategic online presence while aligning with an organisation’s goals and values. My work is designed to spark engagement and build community.

Training & Capacity-building

Digital communications can be tricky. I equip organisations and movements with the frameworks needed to navigate the digital landscape effectively. Through capacity-building and strategic planning, I develop realistic, sustainable communication strategies and plans grounded in feminist principles that teams can implement and sustain.

Feminist research

I explore the intersections of gender, narratives, and power through research that informs social change and builds cross-movement activism and solidarity. I’m particularly interested in participatory, feminist, and decolonial methodologies. My experience in research deeply informs my approach to communications.
