About
I'm currently leading vendor and client relationships at Picolargo LLC in Chihuahua, managing $6.15M in annual purchasing spend. I've negotiated supplier terms that delivered 4% annual cost savings and coordinate 120 active purchase orders each month while reducing processing time by 20%.
Across Appspire, Nucolato, Agencia de Comunicación Kerygma, St. Edward's University, and Texas Tasty, I've turned brand messaging, audience research, and social content into campaigns and customer engagement. My work includes helping launch JustDinner campaigns, converting 10% of event visitors into sales at Nucolato, and increasing Instagram engagement for St. Edward's University by 15%.
I bring bilingual English and Spanish communications skills, cross-market experience in the U.S., Mexico, and Spain, and a BBA in Public Relations, Advertising & Applied Communication. I enjoy translating data, research, and performance results into clear stories for clients, vendors, leadership, and audiences.
