With more than a decade of experience in marketing and communications, I am passionate about creating and executing strategic plans that elevate the brand, reputation, and impact of organizations in various sectors. I am currently the Director of Communications and Marketing at the U of A BIO5 Institute, where I lead the development and implementation of integrated communications and marketing strategies to promote the institute's interdisciplinary research, education, and innovation in the biosciences.

In my previous role as the Director of Marketing, Communications, and External Relations at Tucson Airport Authority, I managed a wide range of initiatives for Tucson International Airport and Ryan Airfield, including media relations, crisis communications, customer service, and federal affairs. I created and executed communication plans for the organization's strategic plan and numerous multi-million-dollar construction projects, as well as prepared the executive team for media interviews and public appearances. I also leveraged my skills in social media marketing, digital media content creation, and media pitching to garner local, national, and international coverage of key initiatives. I was honored to receive the Airport Business 40 under 40 and the Tucson Hispanic Chamber 40 under 40 awards in recognition of my achievements and contributions.
