in a nutshell
I’ve been in marketing for over 15 yrs driving measurable growth for national brands & small businesses. My specialty is in social media growth, influencer program development + management, content creation & campaign strategy.
I’m also an author and professional writer & editor. My essay collection Embrace That Girl was published in 2020, I previously ran a blog (the now defunct Emerald Journal), penned a travel column for the Examiner & have had a slew of work published around the web. My writing extends to viral video scripts, documentary development, social media and blog content, brand newsletters, as well as editing short stories.

Every April, with funding provided by the Knight Foundation, O, Miami attempts to deliver a poem to every single person in Miami-Dade County (in a variety of creative ways).
We answered the call on behalf of YOAMO305 with two submissions and got chosen to participate and execute.
Submission #1 Cafecito is a ritual enjoyed throughout the day. There are little coffee windows we gather around to have our shot of espresso with a side of conversation. As soon as the sun goes up in Miami, the locals will have a cafecito at several points throughout the day… and we were there to give them some poetry with it.
Submission #2 With politics being such a divisive subject, what better way to get people’s attention than by placing political yard signs on their lawns? We produced the signage to look & feel just like an actual political campaign sign, but when our Miamian took a closer look, it was a beautiful poem about unity instead.
