  • President

    I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the President of the Gift of Writing Foundation.

    My journey at Trendcatch Digital Advertising LLC has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by the establishment of our flagship headquarters in Hempstead, NY, and a significant audience reach of 1 million New Yorkers every month through Trendcatch Billboards in diverse locations. I have also fostered key collaborations, supported political campaigns, built relationships with community leaders, and formed partnerships with organizations like Personal Touch Homecare Inc., Community Counseling & Mediation, and the US Army.

    My commitment to community betterment and youth empowerment shines through in my work. I've engaged with over 70 local small businesses across all five boroughs of New York, spanning a wide network of professionals, workers, seniors, immigrants, teachers, and students. My expertise in digital and static billboard marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, activation marketing, and data analysis has enabled me to bring brands to life and create impactful campaigns.

    Now, I am excited to channel this wealth of experience, relationships, and marketing expertise into giftofwriting.org's mission of education and scholarships in Haiti and New York. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those seeking education and opportunities. Thank you for for your consideration, and I look forward to the meaningful work ahead.
