01
Strategic Communications
I identify audiences, craft narratives, and align messages to manage reputation, support decision-making, and build lasting relationships with the right people.
02
Social Media
I create content that sparks conversation, drives measurable growth, and builds genuine connection with audiences across platforms and in two languages.
03
Journalism & On-Camera
I've reported from the field and led a newsroom. That editorial instinct, knowing what story to tell, how, and where, is what shapes every piece of content I produce. Including the ones where I'm in front of the camera.
04
Media Relations & Press
I find the angle that turns information into news. From press releases to journalist relationships, I know how to get the right story to the right outlet at the right time.

In their
own words
“Lorena took on the challenge of making evidence-based research on drug policy more accessible, translating it into narratives that could reach broader audiences while strengthening the digital presence of multiple civil society organizations.
She brought a strong ability to bridge technical content with compelling storytelling. In addition to shaping communications strategies for each organization, she designed a tailored methodology and roadmap that built lasting, in-house capacity across six organizations to produce content independently. She also translated highly technical issues—particularly around litigation and human rights—into clear, accessible language for wider audiences.
Her support was critical during high-impact moments, including legislative processes on cannabis regulation and collaborative projects between arts organizations, human rights groups, and Colombian institutions. Her work combined rigor, clarity, and political sensitivity, leaving sustainable results and durable capacity within each organization.”
Diego García
Program Manager, Open Society Foundations
"Lorena didn't just manage my communication, she taught me how to communicate. Under her guidance, I achieved international media coverage, built a solid digital presence, and learned to face the press with confidence. I highly recommend her to any public figure looking to grow strategically."
Ana Aponte
World Record Holder, Skydiving
"Working with Lorena means working with someone who knows how to read the political moment, build a narrative, and translate complex topics into messages that resonate with people. A significant part of my repositioning in media and social networks is thanks to her work."
