What I'm looking for

I'm looking to collaborate in Madrid with galleries, publishers, cultural centers, or programs working from a feminist and intersectional perspective, where I can connect cultural management, writing, psychoanalysis, and community engagement.

I'm a project manager and operations coordinator with hands-on experience running complex, multi-stakeholder projects in fast-paced, high-visibility environments — including EXPO Chicago, one of North America's leading art fairs. I've owned full project lifecycles end-to-end: planning, vendor and stakeholder coordination, on-site execution, and post-event reporting. At Povos Gallery, I was the main point of contact between artists, curators, and partners, and contributed to a 15% increase in visitor attendance through better operational flow. At Chicago Fine Art Gallery, I managed full event production — briefing, vendor coordination, team management — resolving bottlenecks under tight deadlines. Earlier roles in HR (coordinating recruitment and onboarding for 50+ staff) and behavioral intervention (structured case tracking across multiple concurrent projects) sharpened my stakeholder management and documentation discipline. I hold a B.A. in Clinical Psychology and am completing an M.A. in Psychoanalysis & Culture. Fluent in English (C1) and native Spanish. Seeking remote project management or operations roles.
