Content Specialist

CX Digital Lifecycle Journeys EMEAR

Content Specialist for Digital Lifecycle Journeys EMEAR, based in sunny Lisbon. After working for 3 years in the Event Management industry in Portugal, I had a call from the wild wild world and embraced a flight attendant career in the Middle-East in 2011. Apart from traveling I dedicated most of the time to writing, blogging and sharing my travel adventures with the support of a Portuguese online newspaper.

In 2018 I decided to change my career path, packed 6 amazing years of being an expat and returned home to pursue a career in Digital Marketing and Communication. After engaging in a Digital Marketing course, Cisco opened the doors of opportunity for a totally new challenge in Customer Experience and Communication.

I´m a passionate foodie, addicted to all kinds of outdoor activities and my heart belongs to all kinds of writing formats.

Maria shares how, prior to working at Cisco, she didn't have a lot of time or encouragement to give back. Now, with Cisco's volunteer hours (employees have 40 hours each year to give back) she loves giving back, and shares how we can all continue to give this holiday season.
