HI, I'M ANA!
After 15 years living in tropical Brazil, I moved to the UK in 2017 in search of something new (and cooler!). Ironically, I now easily drink six hot teas a day.
I studied Media Communication, Psychology, and Biology at A-level, and recently graduated with First Class Honours in Marketing Communications with Advertising at Bournemouth University.
I’m a passionate storyteller, be it through video, drawing, or writing format, and a questionable singer (tours only on my shower). When I’m not working on creative projects, I’m watching animated films, psychology videos, petting street cats, or attempting to stay consistent at the gym.
I'm a curious person, always reliable and committed to making something that matters!
FIRST CLASS - BA (HONS)
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS WITH ADVERTISING
This course trained me to think both strategically and creatively, equipping me to work across marketing and advertising industries. Throughout the degree, I worked exclusively on live briefs, developing real-world strategies that bridged academic insight with practical application. I gained hands-on experience in consumer and market research, problem identification, crafting insights, developing IPA-formatted briefs, and using strategy to guide compelling creative work.

SOME OF MY WORK EXPERIENCE
Internship - Marketing and Communications Assistant
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
I secured a one-year paid internship at the ASA/CAP in 2023 - 2024.
I monitored and managed the public enquiries inbox, organised press cuttings and did media sentiment monitoring, created social media posts and internal communication materials such as weekly newsletters, and lots more! I also led an internal communication plan to engage staff with the company’s new five-year strategy, coordinating the logistics of six different activities.
I absolutely loved working at the ASA! It was an amazing experience as I worked closely with the whole Communications team, but also, different departments within ad regulation.
Extracurricular - Marketing Team
CHICAGO: The Musical - Highschool Production
As part of the marketing team for our school production, we designed, produced, and delivered promotional elements for the Chicago production, including a photoshoot, posters, and personalised tickets. Taking a proactive approach, I also led the creation of a trailer—handling videography, editing, and presentation—which was exhibited in the school hall.
Our marketing campaign extended across social media, physical flyers, and posters around school.
Freelancer
Book Cover Design
Worked effectively under pressure to deliver quality content despite limited knowledge and a fast-approaching deadline. This project required a few brainstorming sessions with the client and multiple drafts until the client had approved the design.
