Growing up in a small town in Colombia, I never imagined that one day I’d go across the continent alone to experience a new culture, speak another language, and build meaningful relationships with people completely different from myself. The same desire for growth and curiosity about unique stories that have led me through initiatives in radio, communications, film, and content creation, today motivate me to help individuals from diverse backgrounds like me feel seen, heard, and connected. I enjoy collaborating on innovative projects that inspire, empower, and engage audiences through strategic communications, compelling digital experiences, and human-centric approaches. After graduating from Marymount University with a degree in Communications, a minor in Business Administration, and a User Experience Research and Design certificate, my journey continues at Avid Core, implementing tactics for effective outreach and impactful messaging to move the conversation forward and bring communities and organizations together.
