About me
I am a Strategic Planner, currently working at Paradais DDB, Ecuador and Course Facilitator for the Cannes' Roger Hatchuel Academy 2021.
My work has been recognized by the Effie Awards in 2020; winning several Effies, including a gold and silver Effie and the Grand Effie in Ecuador, as well as a gold award in Effie Latam 2020 (regional). I am a Roger Hatchuel Academy Alumni for the Cannes Lions Festival and Ecuador's 2019 representative for the Google Creative Lab. I was also selected for the See It Be It program in 2020 for El Dorado Festival in 2020 and recognized for my creative work in student awards, such as El Ojo de Iberoamérica (Latam) and Cannes Young Lions (Ecuador) in 2020. I graduated from communication and marketing at Universidad Casa Grande, and during my career I developed as a copywriter in creative agencies.
After my experience in 2019 with Cannes I discovered my drive into strategy. Since then, I got into several courses in important creative schools, such as Brother School of Creativity. My goal is to prove how strategy is creative, as well as that everyone can be creative. I also work with projects towards inclusion and empowering people with disabilities in my country. Traveling is my passion, I travel to live and to have stories to tell; I am convinced that stories are out there to be turned into ideas.
