At Ogilvy London, she led the strategy for the award-winning Mayor of London “Have a word” campaign that tackled male violence against women and girls by turning bystanders into women’s allies - a campaign that transcended traditional advertising and have seen unprecedented levels of action and change, ending up everywhere from the UN to national school education packs.

In that same year, she also became a mentor of “Elas na Gringa”, a platform created to mentor Brazilian women who wish to work in communication across the world.
