Social media manager · Puerto Rico & Miami
I run social media for restaurants, cafés, hotels, and small businesses in western Puerto Rico and in Miami, from Aguadilla, Isabela, and Rincón to Little Havana and Wynwood. I film it, edit it, post it, and report on what it brought in. I care about the people, the craft, and the small details most feeds skip past.
If you run a restaurant, café, bakery, hotel, gym, or shop on the Puerto Rico west coast or in the Miami area, and your Instagram has gone quiet, this is what I take off your plate.

On site in South Florida
Elsewhere in Puerto Rico or Florida, I manage accounts and run ads remotely, and travel for shoot days.
Twenty minutes. You tell me about the business and the slow nights, I tell you honestly whether I can help.
I look at your page and your competitors, then set the pillars and the posting rhythm for the month.
One visit covers weeks of content. You keep serving customers while I film.
Everything goes out on schedule, and at month's end you see what it brought through the door.

Miami, Florida · Partner since 2023
JC Gold is a family-owned Miami jewelry house that makes everything by hand, from raw gold to the finished grill, ring, or pendant. Most jewelry accounts post the finished piece. We started posting how it gets made instead. The feed became a window into the workshop, and people flew in from all over for a custom.

Uma's had an engaged following, but the feed looked like a personal page: event flyers, chalkboard specials, surf comp promos, and random beach shots. On a short-term project, I rebuilt it into a restaurant-first brand page that sold the experience: the food, the location, and the beachside feel.

One feed and one voice across all of their locations

Flyers, menu chalkboards, promo graphics, and personal beach photos all mixed together. The grid felt like a bulletin board, and first-time visitors couldn't tell what Uma's was.
A new bio and link strategy, four focused story highlights, and a content pillar system: food, place, illustration, and beach life. The feed started to look like a restaurant you'd fly to visit.
Reels, influencer collabs, and event design for HANI Apparel, a sustainable swimwear brand, plus hotel work with Arlo.

Content I film, edit, and post on my own TikTok, featuring local businesses and events, and driving real results for them.

A slow, close-up cut into La Crème's mango dessert. One satisfying moment, no talking, and the kind of shot people save to visit later.
Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
A collab with a pool and Pilates event. The post drew over 2,000 comments from people asking how to join, and sent new followers straight to the host's brand-new page.
I partner with restaurants, cafés, bakeries, events, hotels, and brands around Aguadilla, Isabela, Rincón, the rest of western Puerto Rico, and Miami. I'll come in, film the moments that make your place worth the drive, and post it to my TikTok, where my audience saves, shares, and shows up. Want your account managed month to month instead? Tell me below.
Organic content builds the brand. Meta ads put it in front of the people who are close enough to walk in this week. I set up and run both from the same content.
I'm straight with clients about this: my strongest results so far are organic, including a reel that reached 37.3 million people with no ad spend behind it. Paid is the newer side of what I offer, so I run it carefully.

Most brands post the finished product. I post how it gets there: a jeweler at the bench, a chef plating a dish, a designer sketching a suit. The process is almost always more interesting than the result. It's what turned JC Gold's workshop into a scroll stopper and gave Uma's feed a reason for people to come back.
Hand-held, close-up, slightly unfiltered content usually beats perfectly styled shots. It feels like a real person made it, and that earns watch-time, shares, and saves. Whether it's a grill being cast, a swimsuit on a studio floor, or a hotel room at golden hour, I lean toward the version that feels like you're there.
A lot of accounts chase whoever's already following. I think about who should be. For JC Gold, that meant growing from a local Miami crowd to an international one. For Uma's, it meant turning a personal-looking page into a restaurant brand that sells the experience.
I don't chase vanity metrics. I watch what moves: DMs, saves, walk-ins, link clicks, bookings, and press. For a jewelry shop that's inquiries and visits. For a restaurant it's reservations. For a hotel or swim brand it's sell-through and brand lift.
People buy from people they trust. I bring owners, chefs, designers, and the team in the back into the content, so followers feel like they know them before they ever walk in, book, or send a DM.

The things local business owners ask me first.
I film on site in two places. In Puerto Rico that's the west coast: Aguadilla, Isabela, Rincón, Aguada, Moca, San Sebastián, and Quebradillas. In South Florida that's Miami and the surrounding area, including Miami Beach, Wynwood, Little Havana, Doral, Hialeah, and Brickell — I worked with JC Gold Jewelers on West Flagler for two years. Anywhere else, I manage the account, edit, and run ads remotely while your team sends me footage, and I travel for shoot days.
Yes. Captions, comments, and DMs can run in Spanish, English, or both, depending on who you want walking through the door. For most west-coast businesses that means Spanish for locals and English for visitors.
It depends on how often you want to post, how many platforms you're on, and whether you want filming included. Tell me about the business and I'll quote a flat monthly rate, with no long contract. Ad spend is separate and always stays on your own card.
No. Plenty of the content that performs best is the food, the hands, the room, and the process, with nobody on camera. If you or your team want to be in it, even better, but it's never a requirement.
Posting consistently usually shows up in profile visits and saves within a few weeks. Walk-ins and bookings take longer, usually a couple of months of steady content. Anyone promising you a viral hit in week one is guessing.
I work with what you have. Your followers and reviews are worth keeping. Usually it's a cleanup rather than a rebuild: bio, highlights, pinned posts, and then a consistent content plan on top.
Taking on local businesses in western Puerto Rico and the Miami area for monthly social media management and Meta ads. Also open to in-house, agency, and freelance roles. Tell me what you're working on.
