ABOUT ME

I am a digital storyteller, journalist and media strategist.

I help brands break through the Internet’s noise and weave their stories into engaging and easily digestible online content.

Through social media, video production and writing, I take a cutting-edge approach with the latest social media platforms and trends to position brands to get their messages across to a wider audience.

Yolanda is a self-starter, extremely creative and is a rarity in this business. She puts 100% into any task.” 

-Joy

“Yolanda is a terrific social media professional and writer. I worked closely with her on an outreach initiative for the past few years, and she was always very helpful, timely and professional in her work. It was a pleasure to work with her.” 

-Erika

“I actually had the opportunity to work with Yolanda at both RLTV and when she was with WebsEdge. The former was a wonderful way to see how she more than grasped both the basics of long-form style production as well as the requirements of a daily, live broadcast. The latter was when she produced a film for me that required crews working on both sides of the globe, a very tight schedule, serious security issues and at a minimum, represented something a bit different from the standard production. Her ability to deliver on-time, on-budget and on-message was flawless; her client service was admirable. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Yolanda.” 

-Bill

“Yolanda is social media guru whose organizational skills are unmatched.” 

-Nicole

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Yolanda many times since our days at Retirement Living TV. She is a dedicated media professional who “gets it” and understands the medium better than most. She has amazing attention to detail, knows how to tell a great story, and is one of the most dedicated professionals I know. As a board member for Women In Film & Video, Yolanda works tirelessly to give back to our industry and make a difference in the lives of so many. She is at the top of her game and I look forward to working with her again very soon!”
