I was born and raised in Venezuela, where my appreciation for art, design, and architecture first took root. After moving to Miami, I began studying engineering at Florida International University before a different curiosity led me to Florence, Italy, where I studied Interior Design and Art History. I returned to complete my Bachelor of Arts, and came away with something I've carried ever since: a feel for both creative thinking and analytical problem-solving.

Over the years, I've experienced the art world from many different angles, including galleries, private advisory, acquisitions, sales, exhibition planning, logistics, installations, and collection management. That range includes work at international art fairs during Art Basel Miami Beach, where I gained firsthand experience in the fast-paced operational side of the art market, as well as the quieter, less visible work that defines how a collection actually grows over time. It's something I return to often: the work behind the scenes is just as consequential as the moment a work of art changes hands.

Along the way, I've built lasting relationships with collectors, artists, galleries, designers, auction houses, and specialists throughout the Americas and Europe. These are relationships that continue to deepen my understanding of the market and what it means to navigate it well.

Outside of my work, I remain closely connected to Venezuela through nonprofit organizations that support the country and its communities. It's a reminder of where I come from and the values I carry into everything I do.
