She currently heads up partnerships, communications, community engagement and video at Epicenter NYC, a local media and community organization. A native of Guayaquil, Ecuador who grew up in Queens, Carolina also worked for the NYC Council and NYC Kids RISE in the neighborhoods she’s called home and that were at the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout her career she has led and contributed to innovative strategies that advance media organizations from integrating Twitter/X at its rise to increase engagement with publishers to tapping into AI to drive video growth; implemented award-winning and revenue-driving efforts to further engage diverse audiences; and spearheaded initiatives to empower communities for the future. Carolina is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and volunteers her time to efforts in support of older New Yorkers, youth, immigrants, and minority-owned small businesses.

When she’s not volunteering, working or traveling, you will find Carolina at music festivals and events or at a yankee game.
