What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles combining writing, communications, and event coordination in cultural or nonprofit organizations where I can lead projects, engage communities, and grow professionally.

I am a multidisciplinary cultural professional with experience in creative writing, event organization, and communications across cultural institutions and NGOs. I maintain an active personal blog and have published poetry and novels.

My background includes internships and roles in customer care, museum education, editorial & PR, and international cultural cooperation, where I drafted materials, organized events, and managed promotional campaigns. I have experience coordinating travel, logistics, and administrative reporting for corporate and cultural events.

I hold advanced language skills in English (C2) and academic training including a Master’s in Image Theory and Practice and a Master’s in Art History and Philosophy of Culture. I complement my cultural expertise with technical skills in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, content management tools, and digital communication platforms.

I seek roles where I can combine creative writing, event planning, and communications to develop cultural projects, engage communities, and support organizational growth.
