I wanted to be a paleontologist,

and I wouldn't be here without that failed dream.

My love for the little things started with some sand and a detailing brush at Dinosaur World in Tampa, Florida.

What I was then told could never be a successful career, became my gateway to the ad world.

Dig A Little Deeper

I've been told I have an eye for pointing out what often falls under the radar.


Maybe it was watching Jurassic Park for the first time at 6 years old, and seeing the impact such simple mistakes can make on an incredible project. But when all my friends were playing with their Barbies, all I wanted to do was learn about how some of the largest creatures in history were herbivores while the meekest were predators. As simple as it sounds, I enjoyed being different.


Diverting from the crowd meant I could always be the one to know the most about something, even if I was the only one who cared. It also set me up for a life of dedication, because being a young girl preaching about wanting to be a paleontologist took guts.

I watched Jurassic Park for the first time at 6 years old and I was changed forever.

I'd like to say there's nothing that can scare me, but that was before I had to start applying to jobs.

My favorite dinosaur? It is and always will be a brachiosaurus. Like a prehistoric giraffe, they hang around and eat leaves, what a good life.

I love everything time travel and I swear I've seen every movie or show related to it.

In all honesty, I can recite the Back to the Future movies and even dressed up as Marty McFly in high school.

Imagine my excitement when I got to become a Public Relations intern for Universal Orlando Resort...

I started painting my own nails when I was 8 years old...talk about young & determined.

There's no other feeling like having control over something in your hands and being proud of the time and detail you put into its final product.

Growing up in Miami means living in a melting pot of all-things Hispanic.

With a mom born in Spain and raised in Venezuela, arepas mean everything to me, so spotting this logo anywhere in public immediately brings me home.
