You can call me Ani if you know me. I love writing, I watch more TV series than I can keep up with, I share my office with Carminha, a 7-year-old chihuahua we adopted, and I can’t go to sleep without reading at least one page.
At Súmate, I divide my time between the internal marketing department and strategic consulting. Previously, I worked in Súmate’s SEO department, in London, and at other international marketing agencies. Thanks to all these experiences, I’ve turned my work into a true passion.
I hold a degree in Computer Science, I’m a Technical Engineer in Systems, and I completed an MBA in which I was mainly responsible for the marketing area. That’s why I later steered my professional career in this direction. I’m self-taught in graphic design and have been running my own online projects for more than 15 years. In addition, I study a degree in Education purely for pleasure—something I initially thought would be far removed from my previous experience, but which I’ve discovered is not the case. I believe in a form of pedagogy that promotes critical thinking, especially online, and that strives to realistically strengthen digital and technological skills adapted to our times. As you can see, my worlds come together.
Whenever I have some free time, I like to clear my mind by drawing (my bags are full of notebooks and pens), embroidering with a modern approach, and cooking with H. the recipes that we later publish on our food blog.
Before becoming a marketing consultant, I was the kind of child who found out about everything—and told everyone about it. I learned to read and write very early thanks to my grandmother, who devoted herself to nurturing my creative mind, one of my greatest treasures. I’ve always been very communicative and persistent; proof of this is that I spent 13 years asking for a sibling—and I got one.
