What is your proudest professional accomplishment??
Doing creative work in a range of industries as a creative designer, including hospitality, PR and now in media at Gamut!

How has being an ARF YP member impacted your career?
It is challenging to stay creative and inspired in the midst of everyday work. I find that attending seminars and networking events leads me to spot new visual trends, especially at the recent events hosted by ARF Young Pros!

When researching a topic you know nothing about, how do you get started?
I check to see what people are saying about the topic on social media to get the latest insights and news when researching. For OTT and the video landscape at Gamut, I like to see how Whitepapers are illustrating new data across graphs, infographs, and other digital media.

What is your favorite restaurant in your city?
My favorite neighborhood haunt is Caracas Arepa Bar in Williamsburg and the East Village. Authentic Venezuelan food, cool menu items and good vibes.

What is your favorite show/program?
Younger on TV Land. I’ve seen them filming around the city and it’s been interesting to see the scenes translate on screen. I like the showcase of young professionals growing in their respective industry, and can relate to their creative ups and downs in the workplace. The show challenges ways our of thinking about work experience across generations, with Millennials and Gen X taking a big stand for their age groups.
