Renata Carlos Daou
Data Journalist and Polyglot
I am a content and communications professional with international experience in journalism content marketing, editorial strategy, storytelling, digital communications, research, and data analysis, developed through roles at Bloomberg News, The Connecticut Mirror, Malala Fund, and Penn State.
My background combines creativity with analytical thinking. I work across the entire content lifecycle from research, topic development, and narrative building to content creation, editing, distribution, and performance analysis across different channels and audiences.
I have experience creating articles, newsletters, digital campaigns, social media content, news stories, and multimedia projects, as well as analyzing audience behavior, monitoring KPIs, and developing data-driven content strategies.
