About

I’m a curious social media professional obsessed with internet culture since the beginning of social platforms in the early 00s. After finishing my Bachelor's in communication sciences, I worked on both the agency and client side orchestrating effective social media campaigns, crafting strategies, and creating content for various brands across diverse industries and countries. In 2021, I left my agency job, where I had been promoted to Managing Partner, and started working as a freelancer focusing on Tiktok and vertical video marketing.
