Professional Experience: |

In my professional life, I have had the privilege of putting into practice my knowledge and experience, doing what I am most passionate about: amplifying messages that matter and help achieve the common good.As a consultant and media trainer, I have experience launching media initiatives, training journalists and designing communication strategies for private and not for profit organizations, including digital programs. I recently helped set up a business plan and marketing plan for Green Change Consulting: A start-up that connects private and public sectors with state of the art clean technologies and solutions and promotes environmentally related initiatives. Earlier I advised Bogotá's City Hall in strategic communications and International relations. I have worked as a journalist for leading international news networks such as BBC and CNN. I have produced documentaries for Discovery Channel and BBC amongst others.
