About

I’m a social media and community manager with a background in communication, content creation, and international projects.

Traveling and connecting with people has shaped the way I work. I’m deeply interested in how brands build communities, create conversations, and make people feel seen online.

I’ve worked with startups, student organizations, and creative projects where I managed social media accounts, created short-form content, wrote captions and scripts, and helped communities grow in an authentic way.

I’m naturally organized, detail-oriented, and proactive, but I also bring a creative and friendly energy to everything I do. I enjoy structuring content, sharing and testing ideas, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, while still keeping things fun and human.

I’m currently developing audiovisual production skills and I’m open to freelance and remote opportunities with brands that value creativity, community, and clear communication.

This Google Drive portfolio gathers selected creative and communication projects I’ve worked on across social media, content creation, and storytelling. It includes short-form video content, scripts and captions, promotional videos, campaign concepts, and links to social media channels I’ve managed or contributed to, as well as audiovisual projects (short film and documentary). Some projects were developed in Portuguese and others in English, reflecting my international background and experience working across different audiences and contexts. The focus of the portfolio is to show how I think, create, and organize content, always with people and community in mind.
