About me

I am a Barcelona-based communications and stakeholder engagement consultant working with UN agencies, NGOs and corporate sustainability teams, with a focus on land and environmental governance, youth engagement and plain language.

I work at the intersection of communication, partnerships, and international development, helping organisations translate complex ideas into clear and actionable strategies. With over five years of experience across GIZ, UN entities, and consulting, I specialise in stakeholder engagement, strategic communication, and facilitating collaboration across diverse international contexts.

Having worked across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, I bring a strong intercultural perspective and a focus on making complex work accessible, practical, and impactful.
