Content Marketing Lead

"Sonia balances creativity and strategic thinking – there’s a data-driven “why” behind her approach to storytelling, while quality isn’t sacrificed. This, along with her curiosity and strength in building relationships was evident in the program strategy she led and scaled at Shopify. As an encouraging mentor and collaborator to her colleagues, her skills as a leader also shone in her time on our team. Sonia is truly a positive energetic force and any organization would be lucky to have her. I’d gladly work with her again."
Kayla Santalla
Former Sr. Director

"Brand voice pro. Energetic communicator. Culturally in-tuned strategist. Sonia is all that and some. She’s a joy to work with, a great collaborator, and a brilliant force for good! If you have an opportunity to work with Sonia, take it. She makes everyone around her shine!"
Laura Molina
Senior Graphic Designer & Art Director
Girl Scouts of the USA
"Sonia is an incredibly talented and strategic writer and content manager who is always ready to step in and make things happen, regardless of how big the challenge might be. She is an exceptional team player who always listens to her peers and figures out how to accommodate all stakeholders’ feedback in a way that serves both their needs and the brand’s. Additionally, she is always willing to speak up and offer her expertise when it comes to branded content and marketing—and she keeps us all honest when it comes to properly representing the brand through a verbal lens.
Sonia is a key contributor to GSUSA’s overall content strategy. She always has a solution, no matter how complex the messaging challenge is, and I know that both my team and I rely on her heavily to help marry verbal and visual successfully on all major campaigns. I enjoy working with Sonia because she is flexible, smart, creative, and kind. Any team with Sonia on it, is a lucky one. She is a natural leader and she gets the job done (and done well) every time!"

"Sonia is an absolute delight to work with. She is witty, charming, and reliable. She can write like the best of 'em and will capture your brand voice, essence, and emotion all at one time. She can turn things around even on the tightest deadline and returns work only of the highest quality. She is a team player and always willing to jump in and help whenever she can for the better of the brand. Even as a telecommuter, her presence is felt in the office each and every day (in a good way!). Her passion and enthusiasm is unparalleled and anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sonia/know Sonia should consider themselves very, very lucky."

"Sonia is very professional, and helped me land a new job after reviewing and updating my resume. She truly knows how to upgrade your resume based on your experience and education. I highly suggest trying out her services to land new opportunities and improve your career outlook."
Larry Duran
Digital Content Manager
Girl Scouts of the USA
"Sonia is a gifted writer, a savvy marketer, and a talented brand storyteller. She brings her finely honed creative instincts to bear on any task and tirelessly works to craft materials that engage, inform and persuade. She's the consummate team player and adds extra energy to any project in which she is involved. Sonia is truly a joy to work with."
Lisa Moorman
Former Brand Marketing Associate
Girl Scouts of the USA
"Especially from a content perspective, Sonia is a phenomenal writer, marketer and brand manager. On a daily basis she helps nurture and protect our brand voice, making sure materials across the organization are always written in line with our verbal identity, while also coaching others to help them do the same.
Additionally, her strong, well-rounded background makes her a great asset to our team. While her specialty is content development and verbal identity, she always proves helpful in coming up with creative solutions to everyday brand and marketing challenges. She’s also a great editor, and although we have a dedicated Editorial team, she can always help take things up a notch in a pinch, for both English and Spanish projects.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, her positive attitude and energy makes her one of the most joyous people to work with. She’s a true team player! I have also enjoyed her side projects in motivational nonfiction. Her posts and books are funny, real, inspiring and very relatable."

Kristen Elde
Editor/Communications Manager

"I've had the pleasure of working with Sonia for almost two years at Girl Scouts, and I've got nothing but raves. Sonia works quickly without compromising quality in her work, and she consistently and appropriately infuses spirit and energy into the content she writes, which helps us connect with our many audiences in deeper, more meaningful ways. In fact, though I'm an outbased Girl Scout employee, I can always feel the uplifting energy Sonia brings to Girl Scouts and the team--even when I've been clear across the country in Seattle!
Additionally, Sonia in the past has come to me and my Editorial team seeking feedback on how she can improve her writing--something I had never (before Sonia) seen at Girl Scouts. Which is to say, her desire to excel at her job--and excel she does--is evident and exceptional."

Scott Lawrence
Former Manager of Customer Experience
Rand McNally
"As a Customer Experience Manager and a former Field Customer Service Specialist for Rand McNally, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Sonia on various training video and user documentation projects. When we worked on a series of training videos for our TND™760 mobile fleet management product, Sonia made the process so easy and seamless. She provided me with great, easy-to-follow and detailed scripts, managed filming schedules and worked with Design to edit and finalize each piece. All I had to do was show up, and I knew Sonia would take care of the rest.
I am continually impressed by Sonia’s ability to go beyond her creatively-focused marketing role to produce quality customer support materials that are often very technical and complicated in nature. She is incredibly versatile, takes initiative on projects across departments, and is easy and fun to work with. Sonia brings immense value to us at Rand McNally with a wide range of skills, a great attitude, and a wordsmith magic like I’ve never seen before in a marketing manager."

Angela Glyda
Former Senior Designer
Rand McNally
"Sonia is an instrumental part of the marketing team at Rand McNally and has continually shown her writing expertise across multiple platforms. She serves as the key support for our mobile communications sales team in creating and managing collateral, email, advertising and so much more. Sonia also writes and manages monthly newsletters to customers and prospects. As a result, our customers have said they are more informed and are more satisfied with our services. Plus, a previously known lack in awareness of our brand in the mobile communications space has been rectified thanks to her ongoing efforts.
I recently worked with Sonia on a series of product videos we produced in-house for a kiosk that will be in TA Truck Stops across the country, and serve as a huge part of our marketing strategy at retail. Sonia wrote scripts about a variety of our products that were concise, yet informative and engaging. She was not only able to adapt to changes, but also maintained great focus under very tight deadlines, pushing the project ahead through her very strong project management skills. Collaborating with Sonia on these videos was a great experience, and I feel that Sonia really provides our company with great value through her expertise in writing and her ability to tackle a variety of projects with enthusiasm, creativity and a firm focus on results."

Laura Kidder
Editorial Director
Rand McNally
"My first encounter with Sonia was when she was a freelancer on one of my projects. What a joy to have her lend a hand—she was a careful and diligent editor/writer who followed project briefs to the letter, asked good questions, took direction well, and worked independently to deliver content on deadline. I was sad to lose her on my project. Alas, Rand McNally hired her as a full-time employee, and she had projects of her own. (My loss was our company’s gain!) Though we haven’t worked together on anything since then, I’ve come to know Sonia better. She’s hard-working, enthusiastic, highly skilled, and versatile—the kind of person you want on a team!"
Laura Hutchinson
Former Senior Designer
Rand McNally
"As a Senior Graphic Designer at Rand McNally, I often work closely with Sonia on many mobile communications and marketing projects, and she is an absolute joy to work with! Sonia works closely with Sales and Product Development to manage overall marketing strategy and execution, and does a great job of relaying what the mission of a project is.
Sonia is an excellent writer and project manager. She manages her hefty workload in stride and does it all with a smile! Sonia is an essential part of our marketing team, and she helps my job run smoother."

Rebecca Oistad
Former Director of Marketing
Amadesa (Acquired by Liveperson)
"Sonia has been an incredible addition to Amadesa since her first day at the company. If you are looking for a marketing team member who is a top-notch problem solver and an incredible writer and project manager, Sonia is the perfect fit. When I hired Sonia, I was a one-person marketing team, juggling every aspect of corporate and product marketing for our company. I didn't have the budget to hire a full time employee but I really needed someone who could contribute. Sonia responded to an ad I placed for an internship position and, although she is worth much more than an intern's pay, accepted my offer because she was looking for flexibility while attending business school. Of all the people that have reported to me over the years, Sonia is the one that will stand out as one of the most motivated, committed and intelligent team members I have had the pleasure to work with."
Charlotte Donn
Former AVP, Marketing & Communications
YMCA of Greater Miami
"Sonia is a highly intelligent, well-written, woman. The social media recommendations she made and established during her time at the YMCA were perfect for what we needed, and we still use these to communicate our mission to our members today. Sonia managed numerous simultaneous projects and priorities effectively, and worked closely with teams across our association to help achieve overall marketing and organizational goals."
Julian Castro
Former Director of Membership and Wellness
YMCA of Greater Miami
"It was a pleasure working with Sonia at the YMCA of Greater Miami where she played an integral role in the success of our association-wide marketing campaigns. One of her many notable accomplishments was assisting the Y in implementing its social media strategy. Challenged with limited resources and staff, Sonia was able to broaden our exposure in the community resulting in tangible revenue growth. In the process of working with her on this project I was impressed with her aptitude for problem solving, resourcefulness, and innovation. In addition, I found her positive attitude, drive for excellence, and ability to work well in teams a huge influence on colleagues from all levels of the organization. Sonia definitely has a bright future ahead of her."
Pilar Bonilla
Former Senior Marketing and Business Development Manager

"Sonia is a very reliable, creative, personable and results-oriented professional. You give a project to Sonia and you know it will be completed fast, well-done and in the most cost-effective way. I loved having Sonia working for me!"
Daniel Gamboa

Gamby, Inc.
"Sonia has done an amazing job for me and my clients. I have used her services many times. She always delivers on time at reasonable prices. I will continue using her every time I need fresh content! She’s great."
Malik Parker
Production Coordinator
Manhattan Neighborhood Network
"Sonia improved my resume and LinkedIn profile greatly. I never had to go on a real job hunt before so both were extremely outdated. I had the right info, but she helped me craft the story. And after only about a 15 minute conversation she was able to take what I had and take it up quite a few notches to make it easier for potential employers to understand who I am as a professional and what I have to offer. What really impressed me about working with Sonia was how quickly she was able to learn and incorporate industry terms into my resume and LinkedIn. Non media people that have tried to help me in the past have had trouble with this. I would definitely recommend her to people in all industries and at all career-levels looking to give their materials a powerful boost. Thanks Sonia!"
Joel Prieto
Former Communications Specialist, UC Synergetic
"When I came to Sonia for help, I had been working at one retail-based pharmacy job throughout my entire career (10+ years). During this time I had amassed a wide range of skills and experience I knew could translate well into a Communications Specialist role I had my eye on within an engineering company. Having kept the same job for so many years, I didn’t really have a polished resume, and writing a cover letter was a foreign concept to me. Sonia talked me through the whole process, asked all of the right questions, and was able to take everything I had learned in my 10+ years as a pharmacy tech, and translate it into a resume and cover letter that landed me the job (with a 60% salary increase)! Thanks Sonia!"
Randolph T. Hawkins
Former Assistant Vice President, Transaction Management
Lakeview Loan Servicing
"Sonia is the first professional I have used to edit my resume. It can be scary turning over your professional image to someone else. Her consultation and review process put me at ease, and ultimately she produced a stronger product rather than a generic improvement of my resume. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone needing quality resume editing."
