For over ten years I’ve been helping local restaurants promote themselves in my platform La Mafia, Puerto Rico, the island’s most reliable food blog. I fell in love with how food can be portrayed through pictures and the impact they have on consumers. My intention has always been connecting, helping, and inspiring others to take a step forward in favor of our country’s culinary scene.
Motivated by new ideas, I decided to take La Mafia, Puerto Rico to another level and create high-quality videos that capture our gastronomic roots. This is how Eat, Drink, Share Puerto Rico was born. With over 700,000 views, the micro-documentary series won Rincon International Film Festival’s two categories: Best Doc Short; Puerto Rico & Audience Choice Best Doc Short; Puerto Rico with El Burén de Lula’s episode, which was also nominated for a 2020 James Beard Foundation Award in the category of “Online Video, On Location”. The series counts with the support of the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (Puerto Rican Institute of Culture), Ana G. Méndez University Program, and Discover Puerto Rico, the island’s Destination Marketing Organization (DMO).
I’ve been published in GASTRONÓMIKA, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Eater and Food and Wine. It has also been covered by newspapers and media outlets such as WAPA Al Mediodía, El Nuevo Día, The Weekly Journal (El Vocero’s entrepreneurship magazine), and others.
At the moment, I’ve developed amazing relationship with brands and clients such as: Bacardí/Casa Bacardí, Cervecera de Puerto Rico, Malta India, La “H”, Domino’s Pizza, Magna Special Craft, Pizza Hut, Dove, St. Regis Hotels & Resort, Uva! and more.
