I am a native New Yorker with Spanish roots and a world palate. My interests in travel, art, culture, community and technology combined with an entrepreneurial spirit supported my endeavors in the creation and growth of a small art gallery space dedicated to emerging artists in New York City, running a bed and breakfast for foreign artists and providing digital marketing on a freelance basis to a variety of small businesses and companies. Running my own businesses has given me a range of experience in customer relations and sales, creative work in curating shows and creating space events, marketing and promotion, digital media development, and public relations. I have developed strong organizational skills and am known to be resourceful, goal oriented, and capable of initiating projects and following through to their completion. At the moment, I am also furthering my education in sustainability studies and sustainable business.
