CITIES & URBAN MOBILITY

In July 2023, I completed a master’s degree in Territorial Studies and Planning at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where I also received matricula d’honor (univeresity honors). My master’s thesis on “expats” was cited in research from Spain’s Center for Demographic Studies, which was covered in this article in El Pais.

I could talk your ear off about the importance of public transportation and active mobility (here’s a podcast I was on), which led me to my work on EIT Urban Mobility’s Urban Mobility Explained (UMX) brand.

Barcelona & Catalunya

I was selected to be part of the inaugural class of Barcelona 2040, an accelerator program through Barcelona Global where we presented to former mayor Ada Colau. I have also been a presenter at Barcelona International Community Day and been featured in El País, La Vanguardia and El Periódico in 2020 and 2024. Here’s my Second Timer’s guide from Tripadvisor and my unofficial guide to the city of Barcelona.

While living in New York, I served as the first-ever Executive Director for the Catalan Institute of America and helped plan large scale events for Sant Jordi in Brooklyn, La Diada in Southstreet Seaport and a concert for the popular Catalan musical group Manel in Chinatown.

SHOWBIZ & ENTERTAINMENT

I spent my adolescence in pre-professional ballet companies, and I began my professional career working on some of the first names in showbiz. At Serino Coyne (an Omnicom Group), I contributed to campaigns for dozens of Broadway shows and large live entertainment institutions after having enjoyed multiple internships at Situation, where I wrote the first social media copy for The Lion King. More recently, I consulted with El Mago Pop’s team prior to his 2023 blockbuster debut on Broadway.
