What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, results-driven role where I can lead integrated communications, media relationships and influencer strategies while growing client impact.

I am a senior communications professional with extensive agency experience developing corporate communication strategies, media relations and influencer marketing for national and international clients.

I have led media management, spokesperson preparation, crisis mitigation and influencer campaigns for brands such as Cetelem (BNP Paribas Group), SEALIFE Porto, iad Portugal and others, while generating new business through strategic prospecting.

My background includes founding and managing a health & wellness project, producing SEO-optimised content and translations, and creating original articles that have been cited in academic work.

I adopt a strategic, collaborative and results-oriented approach, combining analytical thinking and creativity to strengthen brands, build visibility and manage reputation across Portuguese and English channels.
