I’m a Writer & Editor Based in Houston, Texas. A native of Bayamón, Puerto Rico, I sashay through life humming salsa songs under my breath, and battling the need to stand up and twirl.

RECENT WORK

Kind Words

“She is a thoughtful editor, a voicey writer, and a consummate teammate. She happened to start her role at Healthline right in the middle of a busy transition period, and at the same time, was tasked with hitting certain goals quickly. She jumped right in without hesitation – got organized, on-boarded writers, and started producing excellent, well-researched wellness content. She takes initiative, rolls with the punches when need be, and is a fountain of creative ideas.”

“She has the journalism chops and editorial judgment we all need more of today, integrity that’s become increasingly uncommon, an unparalleled work ethic, a beautiful command of English although it’s not her first language and a seemingly effortless ability to meet (and often beat) deadlines.”

“She's on time, open to constructive editing, and she writes fluid, elegant prose of the sort any editor loves to receive. She's also a delightful person. My interactions with her over the last year have been a big highlight of my recent career. I hope to continue working with her for many pieces to come.”

ABOUT Me

I'm an SEO-certified, experienced writer and editor with a demonstrated history of working in the beauty, health, travel and wellness vertical.


I'm skilled in print and online journalism, line-editing, copy-editing and fact-checking. I got my master's degree in Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, where I learned to crank out clean copy under tight deadlines, pick up the phone, and never back down.
