Welcome to my e-portfolio. You will learn more about my projects, work and experience below.
About
I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and lived in Celebration, Florida for middle school. I went back to Puerto Rico for High School, at La Academia Maria Reina, where I was always highly involved in sports and exercise, including soccer, track & field and cross country. I moved to Tampa when I was only 18 years old to pursue my education. Now, I live in the beautiful city of Orlando, Florida.
I obtained my Bachelors in Science (B.S.) in Biological Psychology with a minor in Exercise Science & Sports Studies at The University of Tampa (UT), in Tampa, Florida. However, I was thirsty for more knowledge, therefore I decided to go back to UT and get a Masters in Business Administration (M.B.A.) with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Master of Science (M.S.) in Marketing.
Ever since, I have specialized in Digital Marketing with a special focus on content marketing. Throughout my whole life, I’ve been passionate about photography and videography, therefore, it is something that complements my work and brings me great satisfaction.
I am committed to making a difference in my community. In addition, I carry my homeland in my heart, therefore I am committed to the development of the Hispanic community in the United States.

I would much rather be remembered for having made a significant contribution to improving the world into which I came than for having made millions” – David Green, Social Entrepreneur, Founder of AuroLab

Experiences
Participation in an internship program offers many benefits to an undergraduate communication student. First, it allows a student to both make and develop professional contacts. Second, both full and part-time employment offers become available. Third, students can develop greater understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses. Fourth, students can refine their career goals. Internship programs also hold benefits for the field supervisors and sponsoring organizations, such as providing motivated workers at no or relatively low cost to an organization and furnishing the opportunity to train possible future employees for the organization.

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. Click to see the positions I have held.

Aspirations
I consider myself to have a very entrepreneurial spirit. Part of it, I owe to my mother, who an entrepreneur herself, established her store Cozy Home in San Juan, Puerto Rico sixteen years ago. I watched her build a beautiful and successful store from the ground. Thankfully, I learned so much from her and her spirit brushed off on me.
As a consultant I can provide expert advice professionally. I have great communications and listening skills, I will make sure to fully understand your situation.
As a grateful cancer survivor, I have always felt obligated to live life to the fullest. Personally, the best way to live life to the fullest is by giving yourself to others and important causes while you are alive and present to make a change in the world.
