Background in environmental NGOs
I started my career at Greenpeace in Spain where I learned all about the issues affecting our climate. I’ve been a passionate environmental campaigner ever since. Moving on to Friends of the Earth showed me how presenting positive solutions can drive change.
Working in the marketing and communications departments at these dynamic NGOS gave me experience turning complex information (in Spanish and English!) into readable, catchy and easy-to-understand messaging. It taught me we can all make a difference.
Specialising in Sustainable Fashion
Having focused my professional development learning all about the fashion sector I am staggered by the huge impact of the industry on our society and environment. I believe the answer is a circular economy and my mission is to use my language skills to effect change!

A client with a passion to promote sustainable footwear in Spain has written a guide to teach the industry how to source sustainable material, using no new raw materials and making footwear circular. She explains the background to sustainability and introduces practical resources so that slow fashion entrepreneurs can find the help they need. She supports innovation and I love supporting her!
I am very approachable and responsive and I communicate regularly and efficiently. I believe in productive collaboration, respecting and supporting each other and working towards a common goal - raising awareness of your sustainability message.
