MY BACKGROUND

I am a multilingual educator, writer and communicator, specialising in wine (primarily) and other drinks (from spirits to no and low, occasionally). I work with clients ranging from large brands to small family wineries.

Born near the cradle of wine that is the Caucasus, I grew up in Barcelona and the Mediterranean. With an academic background in languages and translation, I made the leap into the wine world in 2010.

Throughout my career, I have had a chance to work with companies and institutions in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Ukraine and France, always exploring new horizons and emerging trends.

My current and previous clients include DOCa Rioja, DO Cava, a leading Spanish wine publication Spanish Wine Lover, or the FirstPour social media marketing agency.
