🌍 I build engaged communities, scale affiliate and influencer programs, and plan unforgettable events around the world. With over a decade of experience in community management, affiliate strategy, influencer marketing, and event production, I specialize in creating experiences and ecosystems that drive real brand growth. Here’s what I bring to the table: 🫶 Community Management From building ambassador programs to daily platform engagement, I’ve helped companies create communities that don’t just exist but thrive. At Typeform, I led key community initiatives across platforms, hosted webinars, managed engagement across multiple integration communities, and helped turn customers into advocates. I know what it takes to keep people coming back and participating. At Qwoted, I worked by building their affiliate community from the ground up through recruiting experts and PR pros, maintaining engagement through Slack and AMAs, and running direct outreach to keep affiliates connected to the brand. 🤝 Affiliate & Influencer Management At Qwoted, I managed a growing affiliate program for media and PR professionals by recruiting partners, tracking conversions, creating promotional assets, and handling all communication and support. I also run influencer campaigns for my e-commerce brand (I Just Want to Say Journals), where influencer-driven sales are our top-performing channel. I know how to find the right creators, manage outreach and onboarding, and track results that matter. ✨ Global Event Production As the founder of Vows Well Traveled, I plan and execute intimate destination weddings and elopements across Mexico, Europe, and the U.S. by coordinating everything from logistics to vendor management to full experience curation. I bring that same level of white-glove detail to brand events, mixers, and community meetups. 🛠 Tools I Work With: Slack, Notion, Reclaim, Klaviyo, Webflow, Canva, Typeform, Circle, Discord, GSheets, Monday.com, and more. 📌 If you're looking for someone to: Grow your online community Launch or scale your affiliate/influencer program Create strategic community campaigns Plan global in-person or virtual events Let's make it happen. I bring strategy and execution!
