Maite is, according to Chinese astrology, a Metal Dog. The Dog is loyal, sharp, protective, and deeply attuned to what rings true. The Metal element adds discipline, resolve, and a clean instinct for standards. In Director of radio and audio, she turns those instincts into sound people trust. It lands in the chest.
What does this mean in short?

- She builds trust with presenters, producers, and engineers because her feedback is direct and fair
- She knows when to sharpen a format, when to strip back the noise, and when to let silence do the work

Maite works best alongside the Horse or the Tiger. The Horse brings momentum and bold energy, which helps ambitious audio projects move from concept to launch without losing pace. The Tiger adds courage and creative fire, giving her a strong partner when a station, series, or slate needs a sharper identity and a bigger leap.
Pitfalls and challenges
Maite cares deeply about quality, and in radio and audio that can make her hold a cut, a script, or a sonic identity too tightly when the schedule demands movement. She gets the best results when she decides early which details define the standard and which ones can be tested on air, because that keeps production flowing without dulling the craft. At times, her sharp instinct for what is wrong can also make weaker ideas leave the room too quickly. Yet in development meetings, a little extra space for rough thinking often uncovers the format twist or sound cue that makes a show unforgettable.
