About

I’m a social media and content creation specialist based on the Gold Coast, Australia, with 4+ years of experience producing short-form video, managing social media accounts, and growing engaged audiences across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

I turn brand stories into scroll-stopping content that drives real results, including growing a client’s Instagram from 18.5K to 38K followers in three months, with one video reaching 7.3 million views.
AI is a core part of how I work. I use it daily for content ideation, scripting, hooks, repurposing and workflow automation, not as a shortcut, but as a creative partner that helps me produce at a higher level and at greater speed.

Trilingual in Portuguese, English and Spanish, I bring a cross-cultural perspective that’s especially valuable for brands reaching LATAM and global audiences. I’m experienced in content calendars, influencer coordination, performance analytics, and building content strategies from the ground up.
