I was born-n-not-raised in Brazil, having lived in countries like Paraguay, Venezuela, Argentina, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Currently, I live and work in NYC as an Associate Creative Director at McCann Worldgroup.
I've gathered great advertising experience over the past 12 years, working in Sao Paulo, Miami, and New York. I've produced many TVCs (who doesn't love to travel for a shoot?); nonetheless, my heart is very much drawn to digital.
Since 2013 I have taken home dozens of international awards, including Cannes Lions, NY Festivals, Clios, Effies, Graphis, and more. In 2016 I was shortlisted for the prestigious Cannes Lions See It Be It program. Since 2020 I have judged exciting awards such as the Effie Collegiate, Webby Awards, AdStars, The Young Ones, and more. I've also worked as a teacher for Miami Ad School and mentored young creatives through The One Show portfolio review.
Being a Latina woman in the United States has its share of challenges, and I couldn't have established myself in this market if it weren't for the support of great colleagues. Being an immigrant all my life, I make it a point to always mentor those who are getting started, as well as to bring inclusion and diversity to all my projects.
