I’m all about helping businesses grow their sales. 

After co-founding Watt Advertising during the chaos of the pandemic, I made it my mission to shift the focus from vanity metrics to real results: closed sales, deeper human connections, and sustainable growth.

What started as a way to support local businesses during tough times has turned into a thriving advertising firm that works with brands of all sizes, from small startups to multibillion-dollar companies. 

The common thread? 

Every company needs more than just a strategy—they need a team that cares and understands their unique story. A team who listens and remains steady in good and bad times.

When I’m not working, you’ll have trouble finding me, because I’m off exploring new ideas, spending time with my family, or seeking out adventure in the great outdoors.

If you’re looking to turn your digital marketing into something that actually moves the needle (and not just in circles), let’s chat. 

Grab a call with me—I’m always up for a good conversation:

I just fell in love with app development again.

It felt like crushed garlic being rammed up a vampire's nose until last Tuesday.

What happened?

I was arriving home from the ski hill when Chelann asked me if we could build something better that took less time to manage. 

As our CoFounder/COO, she asked if I had heard of Replit (which you can talk with to create apps)

And if I could put something together better than our functional-but-ugly Google Sheets/Typeform/Looker Studio Reporting/Ticketing setup.

"Uhhhhmmm, that sounds like a pretty big project. Not sure the tech is there yet."

Chelann: "Well I might have mentioned to our new client that we're working on an app for them."

"Oh, well - we could probably whip up something. When do you need it operational?"

Chelann: "Err, a week?! :D"

"A WEEK?!"

But Chelann drew up the scope of required features, and I put my dusty UX hat back on.

"maybe it's possible" I thought.

Everything I used to love about developing software came rushing back:

- The vision of the end result
- Building a roadmap
- Solving a problem
- Obsessing over the user experience


My usual obstacles:

- Finessing and deploying features
- Getting people to test it
- Debugging
- Basic coding hygiene
- Mystical compiler errors

Easier, unnecessary, or at least much more enjoyable!

I didn't have to write a lick of code.

Anything beyond a web application might be too much heavy lifting for Replit.

But I'm impressed.

In under a week, we've developed an app that would have cost $30k-$50k and 10X the time to develop 5 years ago.

It's being stress-tested by our team, and it's running its own QA checks. 

It's just about ready for a Beta launch with the client this week.

I can hardly believe it. 

It's got a ticketing system, team- and client-side secure logins with different access levels, an AI agent (Stork) accessible for admins to make key changes, account 'flight control' dashboards, and fully branded with client colours.

It's clean, presentable, and it just works.

Dozens of team hours will go to higher leverage tasks in February.

Devs might be rolling their eyes at this, but I'm stunned!

Truly amazed!

The gap between having an idea and a piece of software has never been smaller.

Looks like this leap forward is going to give us time to stop and smell the roses. Or in my case, more snowboarding.

I'd be stoked to chat with people about this. 

Comment 'Spec' if you'd like to receive the 30+ feature list that's functioning near-flawlessly in this app.

Turning Authenticity into Influence | Houston Sports Gal | Fierce Mental Health Advocate| | "LIVE, LOVE, LEAD" | OWN Your Essence | | Encouraging humanity to "Educate, Empower, and Uplift".

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.
