My Career Story

Professional Summary

I am an accredited journalist, writer, and communications specialist with a career spanning the journalism, publishing, digital media, and public relations industries across Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

My instinct for spotting trends and transforming ideas into compelling editorial content began early in my career as a reporter for The Miami Herald, where I wrote my own lifestyle column while studying at the Florida International University School of Journalism and Mass Communications. After graduating, I expanded my training with a publishing accreditation from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

My work has appeared in a wide range of magazines, print publications, and online media outlets. My love of style and storytelling led me to roles as a fashion and beauty editor, producing high-end editorial photo shoots for national magazines. I later expanded into television as a lifestyle segment producer for the international Spanish-language magazine show Al Rojo Vivo.

​​This foundation in journalism and media has given me a 360-degree perspective on communication—shaping my ability to write compelling stories, manage brand visibility, and deliver strategic public relations support across multiple industries.​ Today, I bring this multidisciplinary background into my work as a digital marketing strategist and communications consultant, offering copywriting, SEO content, social media strategy, brand storytelling, and PR services for creatives, entrepreneurs, and boutique brands.

My core skills and expertise include Journalism & Editorial Writing, Copywriting & SEO Writing

Public Relations & Media Pitching, Content Strategy, Social Media Strategy, Digital Marketing

Publishing & Editorial Production, Television Production, Brand Storytelling.

Personal Interests

I am fascinated by world history, especially the stories of great women from the past.

I love to read biographies of historical icons to help me understand their humanity and inspirations. I feel stimulated by classic literature and the fine arts. Old Hollywood, and its tales from before and behind the screen, is among my favorite topics. Music is probably the thing I love most after my family. As much as possible, I like to travel to favorite destinations in Europe and South America.
