About ME

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit into the molds that society created for you?

Perhaps the first time it was subtly, when they told you to color inside the lines and you went outside of them. Or when you had to pick a box that “identified” you with race, ethnicity, disability or veteran status. Even in the good times, when your family wanted you to have a quinceañera, but instead you dreamed of visiting Europe.

I’ve always gone upstream myself, and growing up, I never felt like there were outlets where I could find my reflection. I was born in Havana, Cuba in 1994 in the middle of one of the worst economic periods the country has had in its history. My mother says I was nursed by three different women the day I was born due to a lack of baby formula. Maybe that’s where I got my hunger for life from.

My family left Cuba when I was seven, then we lived in Ecuador for three years, and finally settled in Miami, Florida when I was 10. It’s safe to say there’s not one box I’d ever put myself in, even though, wherever I go, I proudly say I’m a Cubana.

If you’ve made it this far into my bio, I’ll give you what you probably came looking for—my professional experience. Over the last decade I’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stories of people around the world, working with international organizations in the United Kingdom, Ghana, Nepal, South Africa, Mozambique, Latin America and the Caribbean.

I am the Co-Founder and Director of Editorial Strategy at TAMDEM Studio, Inc., Certified Life Coach trained in Emotional Intelligence & PNL, professional writer and editor of several publications, and curator of this website. As an entrepreneur, freelance writer and consultant I have ample experience helping teams thrive through effective editorial strategy in areas of publishing, marketing, branding, business, travel and more.

As a professional writer, I hold more than 10 years of experience in diverse areas of this craft I call my passion. My track record expands from grant writing, personal blogging, project management, and international communications, to more specialized areas such as sex columns using my expertise as a sex coach, and travel writing.
