Soy Licenciada y Profesora de Comunicación Social recibida en la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA).
Además, soy Coach Ejecutiva (ICF). También me formé como Coach Ontológica, y me capacité en Programación Neurolingüítica y Neuro Oratoria. Estudié (y, sobre todo, practiqué y practico) desde yoga, respiración consciente, reiki y meditación hasta mindfulness, pasando por decenas de otras disciplinas que me ayudaron a conocerme y, principalmente, a amarme.
En 2013 fundé Makana Comunicación Estratégica, desde donde ayudo a las empresas a difundir sus mensajes y a lograr un posicionamiento de calidad. Con el paso de los años, y el avance de mi formación en Coaching, se convirtió en Makana Comunicación Estratégica & Coaching Ejecutivo, desde donde ofrecemos, además del servicio de comunicación, los servicios de coaching ejecutivo, mentoring, entrenamientos, capacitaciones, talleres y charlas
.
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.
