Brand Home Ambassador of Casa BACARDÍ
My career with BACARDÍ began in the Casa BACARDÍ Kiosk simply serving empanadillas and chicharrónes to our guest. When I got the opportunity to work more in the retail shop, I made myself learn more about the many different rum expressions we had to offer at Casa BACARDÍ to become a pro on selling. That’s when I mastered on how to inspire people on why they should drink BACARDÍ. As soon as I realized that I could sell well, I decided to challenge myself into doing something different for the company, so I became a tour guide for Casa BACARDÍ. I studied the history and the ways of working as a tour guide so quick that in my first day of training, I was able to give my very first Historical tour (Known now as the Legacy tour). Because of the great feedback my tours would have, I was chosen to head towards a more Brand Specialist path. Global Master Blender of the time, Jose Gomez took me as an apprentice to teach me the true beauty of the craft of BACARDÍ rum. With those teachings, I have been able to pass on the knowledge to many Ambassadors of the brand as well as many great bartenders from around the world. Now as the Brand Home Ambassador of Casa BACARDÍ, I have the great honor of working closer with our Blenders and the privilege of using my voice to not only talk about how we craft BACARDÍ rum, but also how it represents my Puerto Rican culture with the use of creative storytelling.
Through out this path, I will continue to expand my knowledge about the beautiful world of distilled spirits.
