Background

Marketer.
Developer.
Creator.

I'm a Senior Email Marketing Specialist at Klaviyo, directing multi-channel demand generation across SMB, MIMA, Partners, and Brand squads.

My background uniquely spans marketing and software engineering — letting me bridge strategy and technical execution in ways most marketers can't. I started in art and design, moved through operations, and followed my passion into martech.

Outside of work: foreign films, Peruvian food, CrossFit, and travel. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
