I am originally from Argentina and worked there in Corporate for many years in Telecommunications, Marketing and PR.  Working while I was at College gave me the strength to be experienced by the time I graduated and I was very successful working in Sales and Business Development. But I always wanted to live in New York City. Therefore, I decided to pursue my dream and I came to USA around 6 years ago. It was a great adventure! One day I was talking with a friend and I told him that my real dream was to live in NY and he said: So go! Is not such a big deal! Is just the Big Apple! So I gave it a try.

And I really don’t regret. I am very proud of this great adventure of coming to live here because they say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I worked in Sales, Business Development and Marketing since I moved to NY and this helped me to create a good Rolodex of contacts and to gain confidence in Business Negotiations.

One of the greatest experiences I had, was to discover my real passion: Business, Internet, Public Relations, Social Media and Books. It took me several years to read fast in English and when I came here, I completely forgot about my career: Communications. Unfortunately I was too busy “surviving”. I started using Internet in the late nineties but this was back in Argentina and everything got there at a later stage. After years of working hard, meeting lots  ( and lots ) of people and learning, I realized that this is what I really love.

Thank you again for checking my website and I really hope you like it!
