I’m a 29-year-old Guatemalan American RIT Grad who has been working in startups and Adtech for the last 7 years. In that time I’ve built logistics and strategy that allowed media companies to monetize their online content and maximize profits. I expanded companies into Poland, Switzerland, India, NY, and LA leading to a multi million dollar acquisition.

With my help companies like Mitu, H-Code, and The Hill generated millions of dollars but after getting tired of watching tech bros get rich off independent creator’s content, I decided to apply what I learned by launching my blog Part Time Exploradora while I traveled abroad to 26 different countries. It became a log of my travels and my journey in tech, geared specifically at empowering women to see the world on their own terms and make money doing it.

Using my knowledge I partnered with organizations like US Travel Summit, Hostel International, and the CDC as well as brands like Health-Aid and Seamless. This eventually inspired me to start my podcast Basic Brown Nerds (which now has over 100k downloads), Blog BuildwithJoy.co which was a finalist for the Tecla Award, and my media agency Carrera Digital. I’ve worked with organizations like TechStars, Google for startups, and The Kapor Center as well as brands like Hispanisize, Techqueria and We All Grow
