What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role combining strategic marketing and project coordination in an international, collaborative company that values holistic wellbeing, cross-cultural work and opportunities to mentor and lead.

I am an international marketing specialist and experienced German language teacher who combines strategic marketing, project coordination and teaching to deliver clear, actionable results. I have worked across Spain, Portugal, Germany and Chile on campaigns, partnerships and multilingual projects.

My background includes roles in marketing management, project coordination for translation and interactive projects, sponsorship management for events like AWS Summit Madrid, and freelance marketing consultancy for SMEs. I also run yoga classes, retreats and trainings, bringing a holistic approach to wellbeing and team development.

I am skilled in digital marketing tools, content and product management, CRM and reporting for decision-making, and I enjoy preparing strategic reports for senior leadership while mentoring teams and coordinating cross-cultural projects.
