remembering names, parallel parking, saving my money, cooking, early mornings,
Do not come easily to me.
Words however,
My resume is inaccurate.
It says I have X years of writing experience because I had to pick a number. But the truth is, I’ve spent my whole life writing—
But the truth is, I’ve spent my whole life writing —in film, in music, in advertising, in a little black journal— and have dedicated my adult years to even more writing, a bunch of studying, and as much traveling as possible in an effort to:
a) understand people more. b) tell even better stories.
I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Gen-Z and strongly believe that groundbreaking ideas usually come from the most unexpected places, people, and things.

I’m the 3rd child of 4.
Here are some things we third children have in common:
Standing out — In a room, from our siblings, from other applicants…
Socially Savvy — Basically family diplomats with impeccable comedic timing.
Adaptable — Never being the one with control of the TV remote has a way of teaching you to make do.
Resourceful — Getting creative with the left overs turns out to be great artistic training.
Flexible — Is it a skipped curfew , missed homework, rebel child or a free spirit in the making?
“There must be a language that doesn’t depend on words.”
We need to talk.
