On the 8th of March, 2021, I had the great honour and pleasure to be invited to give a webinar on International Women’s Day by Comunidad de Costa Rica and Leaders as part of an initiative for equality in the creative industry. Named “From glass slippers to the glass ceiling”, I share my own personal story, my experiences and learnings I had along the way, as well as a call to action for all to be the authors of their own stories.
Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to give talks regarding topics related to Creativity.
This 2016 talk at the ULACIT tackled the topic of “Happiness as a source of inspiration”. I have always been interested in the connection between happiness and the creative process, especially because we put so much of ourselves emotionally in our work. Here I discuss different pieces of creative work that have been inspired directly by the topic of happiness (both from others as well as my own portfolio), as well as some learnings I have had throughout my career on how to try and remain happy and positive. :)
In 2019, I had the pleasure of giving a workshop with Chepe Antillón, Executive Creative Director at BBDO Garnier, on the topic of Bold Brand Building. After the talk, we gave the attendees a brief and selected a few of the teams to present their work and to receive immediate feedback.
In 2023, I was invited by SheSays to give a talk on Jumpstarting Your Career and Life—sharing insights, strategies, and my own story. The irony? At that very moment, unbeknownst to the audience, I was quietly planning my own jump, preparing to step away from the only industry I had ever known for a year-long sabbatical. There I stood, speaking with conviction about reinvention while living the uncertainty firsthand—a full-circle moment where theory and reality collided.
