About

Bridging brands and multicultural audiences.

I joined Venus Media to bring what I learned at national networks like Univision, CBS and NBCUniversal / Telemundo to advertisers who want full-funnel strategies that genuinely reach multicultural audiences. Today I plan diverse media buys that reach New Yorkers in up to 19 languages, across digital and traditional platforms.

I'm known for my charisma and high energy, and I'm a natural relationship builder. Across sales, business development, marketing and account management I've owned multimillion-dollar relationships with global brands, and helped city agencies connect with the communities they serve.
