I am amazed by the variety of backgrounds and interests within my cohort. Also by the kindness and everybody’s willingness to share.

Academic Background: B.A. in advertising

Area of focus in CCT: The intersection of Communication and Technology for brand building purposes.

What did you do before CCT? After graduating from my BA, I worked as a Media Manager for CPG companies in LATAM, developing paid media strategies with a special emphasis on digital media.

What activities do you participate in at CCT? I try to show up to most activities offered. I’ve attended a Global Media Group exhibition, a Media &the Elections discussion, faculty’s book presentation. Also barbecues on the Hilltop, check-ins with faculty and Alumni Meeting. I spend a lot of time on campus and take advantage of the different spots Georgetown offers to students.

Why did you choose CCT? I found CCT when I was looking for the next step in my career. After a decade of professional development within agencies and advertisers, I decided to expand the horizons and re-explore my passions in an academic context. This program offers a perfect combination of my interests while giving me full flexibility to shape it according to my objectives.

What surprised you about CCT? I am amazed by the variety of backgrounds and interests within my cohort. Also by the kindness and everybody’s willingness to share.
