WHO I AM

WHO I AM

I was born in the Spring in Santo Domingo, D.R. under a waning moon. And was raised in Queens, NYC, by my single mother and band of aunts.

With a career spanning over 17 years, my focus has been on celebrating multicultural audiences through brand marketing, digital activations, editorial, experiential, and DEI work.

I have had the opportunity to work with legacy brands, media giants, start ups, and tech companies. My most recent role was leading Multicultural Partnerships for Twitter, where I worked with talent across music, tv/ streaming and film in the U.S, LATAM and Nigeria.

For five years I was at the helm of theGIRLMOB, a collective whose vision was to create a digital space for women of color to learn about each other's perspectives on topics like mental health, love, family, careers, politics and sexual wellness. We came to life through editorial, social, audio, and events held in NYC and Los Angeles. This digital sisterhood helped women of color find mentors, internships, jobs, friendships, collaborators and even love (two of our readers connected through our site and got married)!

After participating in the Aspen Institute + Yale School of Management leadership program in the Fall of 2022, and going on sabbatical in 2023, I decided to pursue accreditation for life coaching. And in the Fall of 2023 gained my certification through the Jay Shetty Coaching Program. This program is backed by the Association for Coaching, “which is the leading independent, and not-for-profit professional body dedicated to promoting best practices and raising the awareness and standards of coaching, worldwide”.

When I’m not leading projects as a marketing consultant (check out Blanco Studios), I can be found reading tarot/astrology for clients, coaching people through life and career pivots (check out Guided Offerings), writing about my life experiences on my substack, thrift shopping, traveling to new places and getting humans to care about humanity through the digestible lens of pop culture.
