Ambassador Program

With over two decades of experience in the media industry, I have been a valued member of American General Media since 1998. What started as a “bet” to work in radio quickly became a successful career, and I have since become a passionate advocate for businesses looking to grow their reach. Specializing in Radio Advertising, Digital Advertising, and Event Marketing, I am dedicated to helping brands amplify their presence and connect with audiences in impactful ways.

Outside of work, I am deeply committed to giving back, serving as the Chair of the Hispano Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, showcasing my commitment to community engagement and business development.

I took to the skies to honor a family legacy in aerospace and to leave my own legacy as well. As a certified drone pilot, I provide innovative aerial services for marketing, real estate, construction, and related fields. Drone services are more and more in demand, so don’t get left behind by not taking advantage of the convenience, affordability, and wow factor of drone imagery, videography, and more!

It’s been pretty amazing to be a part of different community organizations. I’m proud to be a member of the ambassador program with the Chamber, and am honored to stay closer to the community to remain in touch with the needs of my fellow New Mexicans!
