About Me
I am a strategic communicator with a passion for branding, marketing, social media, and public relations, based in Miami, Boston, and Colombia. I specialize in crafting engaging narratives that drive audience connection and enhance brand visibility. With experience across architecture, civil engineering, hospitality, communications agencies, and corporate marketing, I thrive in dynamic industries where strategy and creativity intersect.
I have worked with architectural firms, engineering consultants, hospitality brands, and global PR agencies, helping companies refine their brand identity, marketing strategies, and digital presence. My expertise spans content creation, campaign strategy, media relations, and more, always with a focus on impactful communications and marketing.
Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, on June 12, 2000 (yes, I’m a Gen Z Gemini—make of that what you will!), I moved to the U.S. at age 10. That journey not only shaped my identity, but also sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding diverse audiences, cultural communications, and global marketing strategies. I am eager to bring my expertise to industries where compelling brand narratives shape experiences.
