With more than 25 years of experience, I help brands transform complex ideas into clear, engaging and human stories.

My background combines strategy, creativity and innovation, with strong experience in the healthcare sector, collaborating with pharmaceutical companies to develop communication platforms, experiential initiatives and integrated campaigns around major medical challenges.
