Skills

About
Bachelor Degree on Journalism, acclaimed author and literary translator, constant reader, reality and fiction editor; and loving, caring person, with a weakness for independent films and music, photography, arts, cinema and literature. My strongest skill is creative writing, I can tell or retell stories inside out or up and down, sideways, raining, sweating, praying or cycling. Having practice Aikido and ZaZen meditation for the last 12 years has also improved my resilience when it comes down to work under pressure.
