Soy periodista desde hace más de dos décadas. Trabajé en radio, tuve un affair muy breve con la televisión, y mi romance más largo fue con los medios gráficos y digitales. Fui productora, movilera, redactora, editora, colaboradora y, cuando era necesario, contaba chistes o ponía música para amenizar esas largas noches de cierre en las revistas en las que estampé mi firma. Entre otros medios, estuve en Perfil, La Nación Revistas, Clarín, Radio Nacional, Yahoo! e Infobae.
El coaching me fue atrapando de a poco, y logré conjugar ambas pasiones en un mismo lugar y con un mismo propósito: transformar el mundo, y acompañar a las personas y empresas a transformar su propio mundo.
