10 things about me

  • I'm a mother of two amazing kids and partner of Mr. C.
  • I worked many years in advertising and now I run an online Spanish School.
  • I've studied more than three quarters of my life: Social Communication Science, Philosophy, Sociology, Journalism, Film production among other interesting things.
  • I enjoy reading books: I read an uncountable number of books of different styles and genres on a regular basis.
  • Babble some languages but Spanish and English are my best options (encara que m'emporto bé amb el català).
  • I've practised Aikido, hanging on the trapeze and swimming more than the Little Mermaid.
  • I present my vision of the world through the photography.
  • I write, debate and research everything that crosses my mind.
  • Travel is an amazing experience. It doesn't matter the destination, I love to be away of the everyday life.
  • I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Happy inhabitant and flânerie of Barcelona.

    Work experience

    I've been working in advertising for so long... After so much time in strategic planning and account management of all types of projects: simple and complex; local and global; creative and functional; prizewinning and rewarding; for clients that were demanding, brave or challenging; in Barcelona, Buenos Aires and elsewhere, I have realised that not all advertising is the realm of just Mad Men.

    I currently own and manage a small Spanish School for British people which allows me to develop other aspects of my professional life and balance it with my family life.

    Digital

    The pandemic of 2020 has brought many changes on both a global and personal level. With the extra time, I have been channelling my energy into teaching myself to program, design digital content and improve my writing skills.

    Here are some examples:

    Social Media

    ...and I also write a blog (in Spanish) about my experiences of maternity: mamamik.es

    Academic

    The Social Sciences captivate and reward me in equal proportions.

    Here are some essays that I wrote during my first degree in Social Communication, my masters in Philosophy and my doctorate in Sociology:
