I enjoy supporting projects through practical help, from organizing spaces and gardening to assisting with guests, while also bringing my communication skills and curiosity to enrich the experience.

Description

I’m a Portuguese-Brazilian journalist and writer who believes that places are made of people, routines, and small acts of care.

Over the years, I’ve worked in communication, hospitality, and community projects in Brazil and Portugal, supporting retreat centres, hostels, healthcare professionals, NGOs, and small independent initiatives.

I enjoy being hands-on and involved in daily life. In different projects, this has meant:
• organizing and maintaining shared spaces
• gardening, painting, and small repairs
• supporting housekeeping and daily routines
• helping with logistics and simple operational tasks

At the same time, I bring solid experience in communication and digital presence, which I use when it’s useful and aligned with each project:
• content creation and storytelling
• guest communication and engagement
• social media and online visibility
• support for customer service and events

In previous experiences, I’ve helped projects strengthen their online presence, supported award-winning service teams, and organized cultural and social activities — always adapting to the real needs of each place.

Even in short stays, I take commitment seriously. I like to integrate into routines, work with consistency, and leave things more organized than I found them.

Living between cultures has made me practical, curious, and comfortable in diverse environments. I speak Portuguese (native), Spanish (fluent), and English (working level), and I value clear, respectful communication.

I bring reliability, good energy, and thoughtful presence — whether I’m working quietly in the background or sharing conversations at the end of the day.
