Portfolio
Most of my work in the newsroom covered health care, education and social justice. In corporate communications, I've accumulated experiences in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors where I had the opportunity to create content related to infrastructure, tourism, technology, innovation, and the environment.
As a freelance journalist and writer, I've been more interested in stories that build communities and highlight what we can do to protect our planet and fight for equality, regardless of colour, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or religion (read the About section).
Early in my career, I created a magazine with fellow classmates. Our work earned us an award from the Brazilian Society for Interdisciplinary Communication Studies (the most important academic society in this field in Latin America). The publication was considered the best magazine created by undergrads in the country that year.
​
More recently, I've received awards from Douglas College and the B.C. chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) that recognized my work on a manual, a magazine (both for international students) and a newsletter (for IABC/BC members). Check some of my projects below.
MANUAL FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
I created this manual for Douglas College to help international students navigate life abroad. Instead of focusing on the college, I provided essential information about life in Metro Vancouver (e.g., how to use the public transit and walking clinics).
INTERNATIONAL VOICE MAGAZINE
I designed this magazine to celebrate students' efforts to study abroad. My main purpose was to create a source of information and a safe space for students to share their stories through interviews or their own writing.
THE GRIND: STAIRWAY TO THE TOP
This booklet was co-written by four writers with permission from Grouse Mountain. In addition to co-editing, I was in charge of proofreading.
GET IT: IT SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
I revamped a technology brochure to make it reader-friendly and visually appealing to a diverse student community.
ANNUAL REPORT: TECHNOLOGY
I've revamped an annual report to create an easy-to-read publication that was clear, consistent and visually compelling to the audiences.
ADVERTORIAL: VANCOUVER CIRCUS SCHOOL
I've created and designed this advertorial as part of a media relations plan. [Project developed for VCS in alignment with my professional writing studies].
