I’m a bilingual creative and editorial leader in Madrid, building brand voice and storytelling systems that teams can trust—and customers can hear. I’ve led copywriting for global brands, from campaign narratives and video scripts to the frameworks and training that keep every piece consistent. I also fold AI into the creative workflow to move faster without losing craft. When a campaign needs a voice, I write and narrate brand films professionally, with a native English foundation and Spanish C1 fluency, plus an instinct for the space between languages.
