RESUME

Personal &

Professional

Idea girl, artist and conceptualizer, I am a singer wannabe, lover of pizza and tacos, and mother of two creative kiddos. My talent started at a young age and bloomed a bit more while enrolled at Universidad de Monterrey, where I obtained my BA in Communications and Broadcasting.

After UDEM, I made a few twists and turns working as a photographer, editorial designer, online news assistant, and communications director at different places in South Texas, all while juggling being a mom, an entrepreneur and undergoing a Masters Degree that I finished in 2010.

I am not really limited to the creative or marketing world, with a new found love, now a teacher for The Career and Technology Education department in North TX, in the high school level delivering content in the Arts, AV Tech & Communications, Graphic Design, and Digital Media cluster. I am now sharing over 15 years of experience in the marketing and advertising corporate world with students who are interested in a career under this pathway.

On my spare time I can be found on Instagram, at church serving in the students ministry, or thinking up something fabulous to work on for a client of mine.
