    I started my career as a stand up comedian and it led me to be one of the youngest syndicated columnists in the country; an amazing job I enjoyed for seven years. I then had the honor of working on Capitol Hill as a Communications Director. I've hosted three-hour live talk shows at SiriusXM and have been a political pundit on cable news. I've written for The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, USAToday and many others. I'm the 2025 recipient of the PEN America/Jean Stein award for Oral History. As a consultant, I have experience working with different types of clients with various levels of abilities and goals. Whether you want to launch a campaign, write a book, punch up a script, or simply want to feel more comfortable in front of a crowd--I can help! Writing samples available upon request.

    Hello from New York City! I've been a voracious reader since kindergarten, when I "self-published" a series of books about my childhood dog's robust inner life (with crayons, staples, and the glitter glue I wasn't allowed to use without adult supervision). Fast-forward 25 years: my writing style is a little more refined, and my experience extends beyond using craft supplies to spice up a story. But as equipped as I am to talk about the serious stuff, I also understand that attention spans are short, and a little bit of wit and whimsy go a long way in keeping readers engaged. For my "day job" in the theatre, my compositions have run the gamut: marketing emails, financial appeals, grant proposals, offers and asks for high-profile celebrities and politicians, acknowledgment letters, website copy, invitations, personal bios, press releases, newsletters, speeches and event scripts, and much, much more. Three key tenants of my work in the theatre that carry over into my writing: 1. I'm fast. The entertainment industry moves quickly, and if you take too long to compose a social media caption, it can become obsolete. A Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright once praised my "stunning alacrity." 2. I can take direction. I am extremely receptive to constructive feedback and understand that little tweaks in tone and style make a big difference in the overall impact of a piece of writing. 3. I'm a creative problem solver. Arts organizations often operate on shoestring budgets, and limited resources necessitate innovation. Even if you're not quite sure what you need, I can work with you to create something special that fits the bill. I look forward to our future collaborations!

    Dealmaker. Fixer. Strategist. I advise at the edge of complexity — where politics, capital, and opportunity collide. Over the last 20+ years, I’ve led market expansion, strategic execution, and crisis navigation across Latin America.

If it’s complex, cross-border, politically sensitive, or commercially high stakes — I’m who they bring in. ⸻ Highlights & Core Expertise: • LATAM Expansion & Market Entry Led enterprise sales and strategic rollout for firms like Bloomberg, Deutsche Bank, Feedzai, and Numerix. Covered markets including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, and the Caribbean, selling derivatives software, AI fraud prevention, and structured finance solutions to Tier 1 banks, regulators, and sovereign institutions. • Sovereign Advisory & Infrastructure Development Advised on billion-dollar masterplans in the Dominican Republic including a 17,000 roo project in Pedernales. Worked on public-private partnerships between Madrid and Santo Domingo, supported international promotion and brand strategy, and helped secure large-scale infrastructure contracts with firms like Acciona. • Emergency Sourcing & Crisis Logistics During the pandemic, advised executive-level teams in Caribbean and Central American governments on food and medical sourcing during national shortages. Directed procurement strategies, managed Airbus A330 charters, and filed strategic briefs to embassies and executive branches. • Hospitality Investment Strategy Served as strategic advisor to international hospitality groups (including those backed by sovereign wealth capital) entering the Dominican Republic market. Supported 9-figure resort acquisition strategies, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory alignment for large-scale resort developments. • Creative Ventures & Content Incubation Founded Casa La Vie Productions, a Latin American content house merging music, lifestyle, and influencer culture into globally marketable formats. Produced original IP, developed reality show concepts, and led creative direction for streaming platform pitch decks and brand partnerships. • Cross-Border Deal Structuring & Stakeholder Engagement Whether aligning ministries and embassies, negotiating with private equity-backed developers, or working with airlines, embassies, and tech startups — I specialize in high-level alignment that drives results. ⸻ Core Sectors & Clients Served: • Fintech Platforms • Sovereign Governments & Public-Private Alliances • Hospitality & Tourism Investment Groups • Health & Crisis Management Agencies • Airlines, Logistics, and Food Supply Chains • Streaming Media, Content, and Entertainment Brands ⸻ Representative Projects: • Led the LATAM rollout of Bloomberg’s BVAL platform – Developed valuation strategy, hosted C-level events, and positioned Bloomberg as a fixed-income standard across Latin America. • Advised Feedzai’s entry into Mexico & LATAM – Launched AI fraud software during COVID, partnered with a travel-focused fintech, and drove public-facing thought leadership. • Strategic advisor to the $2B+ Bucanye masterplan in Pedernales – Helped define brand identity, shape investment positioning, and facilitate major infrastructure partnerships. • Built COVID testing infrastructure in the DR – Co-founded a biomolecular lab that tested thousands of tourists, securing B2B deals with hotels, airlines, and embassies. • Managed confidential food and medical sourcing for two national governments – Sourced critical commodities during global shortages, managed air freight from Asia, and coordinated executive-level updates. • Founded Casa La Vie – A content incubation venture focused on Latin American influencers, producing reality show IP and launching a brand built for global platforms. ⸻ If you’re launching in Latin America, navigating political complexity, or managing a multi-stakeholder project — I bring the speed, strategy, and global fluency to deliver.
