About
⏩ Selling myself is hard so I’ll make it quick. Here are the 7 most important things you need to know about me:
- I love hospitality, talking to people, and taking care of them. In my humble opinion… I’m pretty damn good at it.
- I’m a Gastronomy major. I like food & sharing it with others, especially if there are cool experiences around it.
- I like numbers. I taught myself basic accounting, finance and I’m always learning about economics (+ I’m an Excel beast).
- You’ll notice I never stick to JUST one thing. I like to call myself a modern renaissance person. Endlessly curious and studious.
- I take pride in my education. Whether that be my previous training as a Storybrand writer, Microsoft specialist, or SEO; or my current training to be a 5💎, AAA certified service provider. I strive to never stop learning.
- I’m a writer. I enjoy building content strategies and helping businesses grow their business with organic SEO.
- I like helping people. Whether that’s giving them good service at a dinner, designing an effective content strategy, or even building a great website, helping people is my jam.

Experiences
Writer, Editor, Publisher, Marketer — This is my personal writing and publishing. From this practice I’ve gained most of the skills in writing I have today.
- I’ve written over 300 poems and over 140 short-stories, novels and other forms of prose.
- Wrote, edited, and self-published a small batch of books, the first being a collection of poems and the second being a collection of short-stories similar to “Notes of a Dirty Old Man” in format and style. These were small batches before I knew that Kindle Self-Publishing existed. I’m considering making a 2nd edition for KSP.
- Created a series of thought and reflection essays for my school newspaper (which has since been discontinued), writing a total of 5 before the paper was discontinued.
Worked creating content that people want to read to the end. It just happened to be teaching Spanish to English speakers.
Founder, Copywriter & SEO — Helping small brands increase their searches and their sales.
- Increased CTR by up to 52% and Conversion rates by 3%-4% in under two months.
- Designed and successfully implemented SEO strategies, increasing monthly traffic by up to 20k impressions per month.
- UX/UI designed and built their websites to carry out said strategies using Wordpress, Squarespace or Webflow.
It’s a personal project I killed due to my priorities changing.
