## About

```text
At CENTRAL DE MEDIOS MEXICANOS (CDM), I coordinated communications, multichannel outreach, and audiovisual production projects, including political campaigns and a radio program launch with digital broadcasts. I coordinated communications for a campaign that generated over 6 million impressions and contributed to a winning electoral campaign through media and budget management.

I led a 15-member team, tracked tasks and deliverables, and managed project costs, budgets, and supplier agreements. I also helped grow Bob Marlyn by 40,000 followers in one year and developed Expediente Morelos from launch to 9,000 followers.

As co-founder of HEYHUEY, I helped operate a content creation and social media management agency serving 10 clients, primarily in real estate. I managed client relationships, strategy, content production, and monthly client budgets.

At BEST BUY, I planned editorial calendars and created social content and audiovisual materials for one store location, achieving 700% follower growth during my tenure. In 2026, I owned and operated Khe Pollo, a business with two employees.
