Who I am

EPDC_Roque_Natasha_02.jpg

I love to tell stories that make a difference.

As an MBA candidate at The George Washington University School of Business, I specialize in marketing and brand management with a goal to boost global businesses that empower people with immersive cultural experiences.

In 2015, I received my Bachelor's degree in public relations and French from Florida International University. During my time there, I interned at Univision 23 to produce top-quality Spanish-language TV programming for Miami-based audiences, and at The New Tropic to cultivate community-powered cultural awareness of local news and small businesses.

With nearly six years of professional experience in communications and digital innovation strategy for companies across industries in Miami and Washington, D.C., I have developed an incisive approach to understanding what makes a great brand and how to build integrated campaigns to grow and sustain it.

As a former small business owner, my experience inspired me to understand how businesses work; to fill my knowledge gaps in budget analysis, trend forecasting, and data reporting; and ultimately, to empower brand owners like me to thrive through hands-on brand marketing consulting services, delivered with the utmost attention-to-detail and care.
