I’m a Writer & Editor Based in Houston, Texas. A native of BayamΓ³n, 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

β€œShe 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.”

β€œShe 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.”

β€œShe'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.
