Formerly she succeeded in the Spanish market: four years leading the work for Renault Automotive and six years at Sra. Rushmore, one of Spain’s most successful creative boutiques. As a key senior member of their team, she contributed to make it number one in creativity and effectiveness for five years in a row.

Her work across different media has been recognized with more than a hundred international awards, including D&AD, Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clios, LIA, British Arrows, El Sol, Spikes and FIAP, among others.
