blogger since 2003

I have been blogging since 2003 and write about politics, culture, history, fraternity/sorority life, Puerto Rico, Latino issues, and entertainment.

In 2004, I earned a master's degree in Corporate Communication from Baruch College of the City University of New York.

I received a bachelor's degree in Communication Media Management from the State University of New York at New Paltz. Since then I have worked for a news-gathering organization, a public relations firm, a non-profit organization, an information technology company, and institutions of higher learning.

After I earned my master's degree from Baruch, I received a Certificate of Paralegal Studies from Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus. I then worked as a contract document review paralegal before becoming a quality assurance analyst for a management consulting firm. At the present time, I work as a Digital Marketing Manager for Digital Mark 360.

My Puerto Rican DNA - I posted my AncestryDNA genetic test results to my personal blog.

Portu Ricans - A website for Puerto Ricans with Portuguese Ancestry.

I recently found out that I am 29 percent portuguese. This is a surprise to me because I always thought I was mostly Spanish. I created a website to inform others about the subject.

I have held various administrative and management-related positions throughout my career, including the roles of document review paralegal and office manager.
