It was during my ‘Analysis of the Moving Picture’ class at Quinnipiac University, when Professor Abbott first taught me the concept of “visual literacy,” that I discovered the key ingredients to engaging an audience; building the right content for the right target and delivering it in the right place at the right time. Done well, you’re given the ability to invoke the exact response you’re soliciting.

Fascinated by the concept, and the vast opportunity afforded by the digital landscape, I moved to New York and launched my career. I first focused on production editing, helping a wide variety of Fortune 500 brands tell their stories to their target audiences. From there, I turned my attention to mastering the art of content delivery in the digital world. Working for several years in everything from ad trafficking and operations, to product marketing and management, I’ve spent the better part of my career understanding how to pinpoint users through data and technology to deliver meaningful messages to drive a desired response. In doing so, I successfully built, from conception to completion, a 10 million dollar-a-year business unit comprised of multiple product lines and reliant on the coordination of dozens of individuals across multiple internal departments and a variety of third party vendors.

After nearly eight years in the B2B online marketing world and with native Spanish fluency, I moved to Barcelona, Spain to pursue my MBA with a specialization in International Marketing. Working with other graduate students from different backgrounds and a variety of cultures really impacted my personal and professional perspective. I was also fortunate enough to travel extensively during these two years and I believe that has greatly contributed to my skills and education.

With an established foundation in online media and publishing, and a recent MBA with high honors from EU Business School, I’m eager to further grow and refine my business and marketing skills. Finding a way to combine my analytical drive with my creative bent is something I know will lead to a fulfilling career I can be passionate about.
