Portfolio: comunicación humanitaria y médica
Se presentan los proyectos de mi portafolio centrados específicamente en la comunicación humanitaria y médica. Estos proyectos demuestran mis habilidades de contar historias visualmente y trasladar ideas complejas a contenido accesible.
La falta de financiar las enfermedades no comunicables: video estilo pizarrón
Este video está enteramente en inglés. Explica, a través de una serie de dibujos hechos a mano y animados, la brecha que ocurre cuando el mundo económico no invierte en enfermedades que son serias pero comunes, contribuyendo a un retraso en atención médica y un aumento de costos.
Cree este video para mi internado con el instituto de financias de salud, o Health Finance Institute (HFI), usando herramientas de Adobe, después de identificar la necesidad que haya una explicación accesible sobre el trabajo de la organización sin fines de lucro.
Adapté la escritura que hicieron mis supervisoras, ayudándolas a asegurar que esté clara sin perder su sabiduría técnica.
Este video vive en la página principal de HFI, y todos derechos pertenecen a la organización.
Gráficos Apoyando A Los Derechos De Los Refugiados

Dibujé a manó y animé estos gráficos usando herramienta de Adobe para las redes sociales de ACNUR en inglés (@refugees). Abogaron que los refugiados, especialmente las mujeres y niños, y tengan acceso a la educación, salud, y seguridad durante la Semana Mundial de Agua 2022.
Aprendí en mi pasantía con la asociación de la ONU de Boston (United Nations Association of Greater Boston) en 2018 que los refugiados y la gente desplazada frecuentemente tienen que caminar distancias largas y difíciles solo para encontrar agua sanitaria, y suelen tener riesgos más altos de contratar enfermedades.

This is an example of a Tiktok I made for the UNHCR (@refugees). I created it during my internship with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), to advocate for refugees' access to menstrual products, using available footage (that is not my own) in South Sudan. I wrote this project script with my supervisors' approval and compiled/edited visuals myself. Tools used were my iPhone, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop.
Some comments:
[Tiktok user 1]: PERIOD 😍💅🏻

Episodio de podcast: «Terapia Escalón»
En este podcast hecho enteramente en inglés, investigué las policías de las compañías de seguro médico que suelen dañar a los pacientes viviendo con enfermedades crónicas, y detallé cuales acciones se pueden hacer para enmendar sus impactos. Mi esperanza fue que este proyecto pudiera animar pacientes a mejorar su entendimiento de la política que amenaza a su salud, especialmente cuando comunicando con su seguro médico.
Dirigí este podcast desde su concepto al acabar, incluyendo haciendo investigaciones sobre la política, preparando la entrevista principal del episodio, y creando el guión. El proyecto salió después de que trabajé como internada con la fundación sobre el Crohns y Colitis, y fue para mi curso final para mi BA.
Dibujé el gráfico a mano y compuse el podcast a través de Adobe Audition.

Social media for DC PCSB that champions disability representation and visibility

I hand-drew this graphic using Adobe tools to encourage the compassionate treatment of disabled students and raise awareness about the school resources available to them, via DC PCSB's social media pages.
Part of my work with the DC Public Charter School Board included uplifting students with disabilities and their academic experiences and achievements, to ensure their voices are heard and appreciated. My writing and graphic design furthered this goal.
For example, in DC PCSB's April 2023 newsletter, I wrote about Autism awareness and what DC public charter schools did to celebrate it.

I hand illustrated this video to ensure the DC Public Charter School Board's Alternative Education policy for Special Education students was explained in an accessible, engaging way. Voiceover is a colleague. Tools used: Adobe Fresco, Canva

Can there be better health outcomes for people worldwide at a lower cost? Wellness-linked insurance incentives might make this happen.
I designed this graphic to illustrate this idea, accompanying a blog post written by my superiors during my internship at the Health Finance Institute in 2021 and a post on X (Twitter) advertising it.
