My Story

Professional Summary

I am an accredited journalist, writer and communications specialist who has held notable career positions in the journalism, publishing, and public relations industries throughout Miami, New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City.

My knack for recognizing trends and bringing pen to paper in the creation of editorials and promotional materials emerged in my early days as a reporter for the Miami Herald where I penned my own lifestyle column while still attending the Florida International University School of Journalism and Mass Communications. After completing my studies there, I would later receive an accreditation in publishing from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

My work has been published in a variety of magazines, publications and on-line platforms. My love of style and prose has allowed me to work in the publishing industry as a fashion and beauty editor, producing high-end photo shoots for national magazines. I have also expanded those skills onto the field of television working as lifestyle segment producer for the hit international Spanish-language magazine show, Al Rojo Vivo.

My journalism background has enabled me to gain a complete perspective on public relations, allowing me to use my communications expertise to service clients across a variety of industries.

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.
