About Me
Since the start of my career, I’ve been helping international brands navigate the complex cultural and media landscape of the Dominican Republic, translating global visions into messages that resonate with local audiences.
My Experience
My first significant experience working with an international brand came with the U.S. Department of State, at the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic. There, I helped craft messages that resonated with Dominican audiences while maintaining alignment with American diplomatic objectives. This experience sharpened my ability to navigate complex political environments and communicate sensitive information across cultural boundaries.
My work with RTI International on the USAID Energy Sector Reform Project further expanded my capabilities. Recognizing the technical complexity of the energy sector, I worked to communicate the project’s vision and work in words that non-technical audiences could understand, working with stakeholders in the United States and various Caribbean countries.
Local expertise and strategic vision
Throughout my career, I've maintained a commitment to understanding the political and social dynamics that shape communication in the Dominican Republic. This dedication is evident in my research on political polarization in Dominican society, which provides insights that can help organizations navigate the country's political landscape.
My approach to communication is firmly results-focused. I believe that every communication action must serve a strategic purpose aligned with organizational goals and values. This philosophy guides my work with government agencies, international organizations, and private companies, ensuring that communication investments deliver measurable value.
Values and life
Working across cultures has reinforced my belief in the value of honesty, hard work, teamwork, and respect. I've found that, even in unknown environments, those principles help establish durable trust and lead to higher-quality results.
Outside the office, you might find me playing guitar during Sunday church services, exploring new worlds in fantasy and sci-fi literature, or following Formula 1 racing. These pursuits have bolstered my ability to connect with diverse audiences and appreciate different perspectives.
Let’s work together!
As global organizations increasingly recognize the importance of establishing authentic connections with their audiences, the need for communication professionals who truly understand local culture, media, and governmental institutions has never been greater. With my unique combination of international experience and deep local knowledge, I help organizations navigate these complexities and achieve their communication objectives.
