My Story
I've been an entrepreneur since before I had the word for it.
It started in Panama.
Canadian dad, Panamanian mom — and a kid who was always finding something to sell. We didn't have much, so I learned early that if I wanted something, I'd have to build the way to get it myself. No one taught me that. It was just in me.
I climbed a lot of mango trees back in those days. So years later, when it came time to name my agency, there was only ever one option. Mango Media is home.
I tried doing it the safe way.
I came to Canada at nineteen for school, studied journalism and public relations, and learned to write and tell stories before social media was something businesses paid anyone to do. I taught myself the new platforms and started Mango Media on the side.
For years I did the responsible thing — a steady corporate paycheque, the agency squeezed into the edges — because that's what everyone advised. It never once felt like mine.
Then I became a mother, and stopped pretending.
When my daughter was born, I knew I wasn't going back. I built Mango Media for real — at 4 a.m. feeds, between client calls, one website launch at a time. I grew it the slow way: entirely through referrals, no paid ads, for over a decade.
Somewhere in there it became a premium agency — and I got early to AI search, the shift quietly rewriting how every business gets found. Now I help others see it coming: from the stage, in print, and in the work.
