Bilingual podcast producer, writer, sound designer, video editor and narrator

Summary

I have been working on audio since 2009 in every kind of project that you can think about: chatcasts, documentaries, non-narrated stories, only narrated stories, weird unclassifiable formats, you name it. I have created dozens of projects, shows, and even companies


In 2017 I joined Adonde Media were I worked six years with the most amazing team in existence and being challenged every day, wearing every possible hat: Producer, Manager, Sound Designer, Researcher, Fact Checker or Project Coordinator. I have also created projects for Spotify, Novel, Audible and Anfibia among others.


Since 2024 I have also delved into video editing, going back to my graphic design skills along with all my storytelling tools.
