Read MoreI was born in Bogotá, Colombia and grew up in Miami, where communicating with cultures and nationalities from around the world became my passion at an early age. My love for technology and social media began when my life took an unexpected turn and I was unable to walk for a period of time before starting my college career. Finding myself bored at home but with a computer as my window to the world, I used my time to help friends build their brands on Facebook, Google, and Twitter. Through this, I got my first job building strategies and campaigns in the new social media world- all during my time on a wheelchair. I realized the power of technology, and built my career on digital media and promoting innovative brands and products.
I studied Strategic Communications & Marketing at The University of Miami and travelled the world on board Semester at Sea, leading me to discover the value of digital media around the globe. So, during my sophomore year in college, I joined Google's BOLD Internship Program and dove deep into the Digital Ad Industry. Here, I fell in love with the Bay Area's tech community and the power of technology to connect the world!
Inspired by disruptive technology and the diverse innovators in the industry, my mission is to bridge the diversity gap in Silicon Valley by connecting women and minorities to leadership opportunities, tech jobs, and curated industry conversations.
I am the co-founder of La NUBE LatinX in Cloud Technologies, a global community of LatinX Founders who are building, disrupting, and innovating in across Cloud Technologies. I serve as Marketing Chair for Latinas in Finance, and sit on the board of Latina Professinals, a non-profit organization which aim at empowering Latinas in the tech and finance sectors while fostering personal & professional development. I've been a contributing writer at #LatinaGeeks, and have been asked to speak at CLICSF's panel of Colombian Leaders in Silicon Valley build the Colombian tech community in San Francisco.

I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and getting into the nitty gritty of Founder & Portfolio Support, yet my goal is ultimately to be a 'thought-leader' and provide marketing strategy and inspiration.
I believe every team needs team building, and I work exceptionally well across all key functional areas including Sales, Development, AdOps, Design and Engineering.
I don't believe in communication without purpose. I see marketing communications as a science and believe that design plays a role in solving problems that improve the consumer experience.
Think globally. Act locally. I work like a business owner and think like the customer to identify opportunities for brand growth, customer retention, and memorable products.
I see marketing communications as an art and a driver of smiles and customer delight. I'm the catalyst that mixes ideas, pushes concepts, and finds the best way to energize brands through an identifiable voice.
I'm always looking for opportunities for improvement and I'm not afraid to take risks for the sake of making things better. If it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission... WHY NOT try to improve?
