I remember when I was in the 10th grade and they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I always responded “pediatrician”. As a kid, I always wanted to have a clown gig and after learning about the Patch Adams character, I figured I could have a career as a pediatrician and act as a clown to make kids happy. In the 10th grade that quickly changed. They made us take an allocation test and I was assigned to the “Communications” room. I had no idea what that meant and I thought it’d have to do with tele-communications.
Once I heard the lady talk though, I realized what I loved doing could actually be a career and so I proceeded to apply to Marketing Communications programs ending up at Emerson College in Boston. Throughout my years there I became SO passionate about marketing strategy, creative planning and communicating — via a radio show at that time. I understood that I wanted to pursue all those together and so I have.
After moving from agency internships, entertainment marketing, medium-sized companies working in commodities and business development, trying out consulting and finally ending up at corporate America with Royal Caribbean’s marketing department… I thought I had a taste of many areas and was ready to combine my passions and build the dream job I’ve always wanted. One that combines: marketing strategy consulting, sales, creative storytelling, video, communications and a couple of others. Sure, some may say I have my head in too many places, but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This page was meant to bring it all together. Talk about myself, share my projects, my career path, my passion work and so many more. I’m happy to share this with you and please reach out at any point if you ever wish to combine all your crazy passions and goals with mine!
With Love,
