What I'm looking for

I create visually compelling content that drives engagement and growth. Experienced in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Lightroom, Bridge, CapCut, and Canva. Seeking opportunities as Content Creator, Social Media Strategist, or Video Editor to help brands connect with audiences and stand out.

I am skilled in content creation, social media strategy, community management, photography, audiovisual production, and post-production, with over three years of experience crafting visual narratives that drive action, generate engagement, and reinforce brand identity. I am ready to add value and ensure every post achieves its purpose, inspires, engages, and makes a difference.

In my recent role as Content Creator, Social Media Manager, and Digital Strategist for various brands in Australia and Colombia, I:

  • Produced dynamic visual content (photography, videos, Reels) and social media campaigns, increasing audience engagement by 25–40%.

  • Designed and executed interactive content such as polls, contests, open-ended questions, and calls-to-action on Instagram and Facebook, achieving a 30% increase in active participation and fostering closer connections with the audience.
