What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute writing, editing, and institutional communication skills to purpose-led foundations, NGOs, libraries, publishers, or cultural institutions focused on environmental, social, or cultural impact.

I've written and edited institutional content for Portugal's Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, producing technical summaries, position reports, speeches, press releases, and official communications for government and European bodies. I also prepared negotiation dossiers for COREPER, UNFCCC, and SEED, translating complex environmental policy for different audiences.

Across public-sector, freelance, and legal administrative work, I've managed editorial content, coordinated communication launches, and worked closely with institutional stakeholders. I'm drawn to purpose-led organizations where writing and communication support environmental, cultural, and social-impact missions.
