From journalistic stories to blog posts and other types of content like interviews, scripts, presentations or social media posts. I have the capacity to come up with original ideas and turn them into engaging and shareable content that conveys a desired message. My advanced knowledge of HTML code tags and web design basics always comes in handy to manage and publish web content using WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager or other content management systems.
I have bylines in English, Spanish and Catalan on The Coast, My East Coast Experience, The Omega, Erasmus En Flandes, scannerFM, MyVuelingCity, Casa Asia or Culture Trip.
