What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead integrated communication work where I can combine social media, press relations, audiovisual storytelling, crisis management, and collaboration across large teams.

I coordinate social media for the City Hall of Florianópolis, leading a five-person team and coordinating workflows with more than 40 collaborators. I oversee content, scripts, editing, publishing schedules, video direction, and quality control across municipal channels.

As a Public Information Officer, I managed communications for departments including Tourism, Culture and Sports, Social Assistance, Security and Public Order, Municipal Guard, Civil Defense, and today, Animal Welfare. I build multimedia narratives, work directly with the press, draft releases, lead interns, and organize press conferences.

My background also includes copywriting, marketing strategy, video editing, commercial photography, and design at SQNZN. I bring five years of experience in 360-degree communication, engagement, image-building, crisis management, and collaborative work across large teams.
