Our Journey of Passion and Success

With over three decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to enhancing brand visibility and client success. My journey began in 1990 when I founded my brand ambassador agency, inspired by my experiences in the beauty pageant circuit. By leveraging these connections, I represented sponsors in the food, wine, and spirits industries, starting with renowned brands like Goya Foods. Through strategic promotions at high-profile events, I significantly boosted brand awareness and sales.

From humble beginnings in my Bronx apartment, where I interviewed candidates and used personal kitchen appliances for demonstrations, my agency has grown into a leading force in the industry. Today, we represent top-tier brands such as Gallo Winery, Southern Glazer Distributors, and Bacardi. Leading a talented team of brand ambassadors, I am committed to excellence and a client-first approach.

My passion for storytelling and brand management drives me to help clients convey their unique messages to new audiences, fostering engagement and growth. As a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and a former Miss International USA, I bring creativity, professionalism, and marketing expertise to every project. Let’s connect and explore how we can bring your brand’s vision to life.
