Build Your Brand

I was first introduced to the exciting profession of public relations at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It changed my life. I joined professional organizations and served on boards of national non-profits as the youngest member in many cases, winning awards, traveling and working alongside some of the country's trailblazers in the field in many different sectors. My specialty is supporting individuals and groups who aim to increase awareness and relevance about their projects and initiatives through music and marketing.

Over the years, I've worn numerous hats under the communications umbrella: public relations, copy writing, event planning, fundraising, sponsorship, grassroots marketing and integrated campaign execution. Areas of specialty include entertainment, healthcare, consumer, non-profit, luxury and gaming in Detroit, Las Vegas, Boston, Los Angeles, Raleigh-Durham and Houston. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with my BA degree in Journalism and Communication with a concentration in public relations.

Let me help you or your company engage, brand and shine!

Gonzalo Eyzaguirre

Carmen has contributed in an amazing way to my applications to jobs in the United States. She was extremely helpful with the presentation and revisions of my resume and cover letter for the jobs that Im applying for. Since English is not my first language, Carmen assisted me with organizing and best highlighting my skills and proficiencies in the most efficient way. She was a fundamental tool for what I needed. Without her help, my resume and cover letter wouldn't be as professional as they are now. Carmen is dependable and works quickly. I totally recommend working with her!

"Carmen has had a great impact on the success of our dental practice start-up.  Her expertise from a marketing and public relations standpoint has helped our business hit the ground running.  Carmen organized every detail of our ribbon cutting ceremony and has assisted in getting our dental practice featured in numerous news outlets and publications.  With her help, we were featured on a local television show promoting the importance of oral health.  Carmen is very organized, detail oriented, and always meets every deadline.  I highly recommend working with her."

"We may be related, but Carmen was all business when it came to the public relations and marketing work she contributed to my dental practice. She approached each initiative with creative and thoughtful ideas, ultimately involving the community every step of the way. We had great success thanks to Carmen's diligent efforts. She was able to curate front page stories, radio interviews, commercials, online coverage and television interviews with some of our top anchors in the Metro Detroit area."
