14 years. 😮

​At 19, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was just a college kid switching majors, studying from the passenger seat of a truck 🛻 on the road feeling pretty lost.

​Years later, sitting in my office at a TV station craving being back in the field, a superior tried to chain me to a desk, telling me I wasn't "pretty enough" 🤦‍♀️to be a TV journalist—ignoring my years of hard-hitting, albeit sometime anti-establishment 👀🤣 journalism, and relocating across 38 states to cover real stories.

​Out of pure defiance (and a whole lot of "F*** You" energy-which I tend to use a lot in new projects 🤣☠️), that spark became @rym_network [now with @audiofuturamusic & both under HGD] 
 
​What started as me driving up and down the southwest as an MMJ slow-burned into everything we do today: 19+ global bureaus, a 360 music and media ecosystem, and actively training the next generation of media leaders. 

​I used to reflect on my years of storytelling around this time every year, but that’s just not what I do anymore. [Honestly, that’s been a hard pill to swallow because I never imagined I’d end up here.] I went from storyteller to job creator 🤯

​And it still feels brand new every day. I constantly make mistakes , and the failures continue to grow right alongside the wins. The funny part is that people turn to me for answers, but the truth is I’m learning right along with them.🤔

​From a lost 19-year-old on some random backroad to reaching over 2 million readers & viewers worldwide every month, producing real experiences where people feel seen & heard, and managing teams across different time zones (which I still get confused by 🤣😶‍🌫️)—I just want to say thank you. 

​Thank you to everyone who’s ever read, watched, built, or been a part of this journey alongside us. 📖🖥🎧🎙

​Have you grabbed a copy of our latest issue yet?📕 If not, I’d love to send you one! This latest cover story with @reallilmanj is something special—now we’re just waiting on The Underdawg to drop in the coming weeks ✨️✨️ 🎵🎵🎵

​Ty 4 📚 🙏

@vfx_society 2026! Celebrating 24 Years of VFX! Thank you for the invitation back! It's always great being here! 

Been doing this for years, and I'm still in awe when I get to have conversations with such incredible people like @jerrybruckheimer and Sir Richard Taylor @wetaworkshop @wetafxofficial 

The conversations were so great I didn't want them to end! Back on the Red Carpet for the first time in a minute! 🎤

#grammys Been a minute since I've opened up so here we go. Post GRAMMYs 2026 the first time the company gets accepted to be on the media list. 🤗🙌🏼 [Cue my Screaming] When I first got the news I cried. I cried a lot 😭😅 It was proof that we were finally doing it right. Shutting myself off, and focusing on what we needed to do to truly build. 
I always wanted to be taken seriously at this level but I didn't imagine it could be like this. (I always thought I would be reporting not overseeing the whole thing!) 

From a single camera and my mustang renting my hermana's @3i6uv_ spare room to the FKN GRAMMYs like what?!?! I kept having to stop thinking is this sh** real?! 🥹🥹

The end of the night I'm meticulously checking and re-checking everyone's hard work before signing off and going home [couldn't handle my shoes at this point 🤣].

It still doesn't feel real my own creation was a part of covering music history... holy crap! 🙌🏼🤗👀✨️🤩 check out some of our team's coverage available now! Thank you Recording Academy for this opportunity now lets make it next year even better! @grammys ✨️✨️✨️ taken in Crypto.com Arena by @vanessatorres_rym

Looking back at this first year and everything we’ve done on the internet just gets me excited. Ty @boldjourneymag for inviting me back and giving me the opportunity to open up about this journey.
​To every creative and talent whose stories we told this year—thank you for trusting us. To those we haven't told yet: we are so excited to meet you. 🫡

Thank you to @voyagelamag @voyagelamag_mike for inviting me back to be a part of your Inspiring Stories series. This year has been transformative for @rym_network . 
​Integrating with HGD Media Group allowed us to scale at a pace I didn't think was possible, but it required a major shift. 

​By trusting the infrastructure and expertise of my partners, we’ve seen incredible growth unlike ever before. We are now operating at the intersection of Data and Culture with international distribution.  #linkinbio

#anniversary - 12 Years 🤯 countless stories, and one consistent theme: Drown out the noise. 🤫These photos capture a lot of chapters: intern -> staff writer -> field reporter -> radio news director -> TV producer -> on-air talent -> company founder -> CEO/Executive. It's been a journey of highs and lows—from building from the ground up and winning awards to facing things I'd rather not mention.I’ve messed up, excelled, failed, and won, but looking back, there's nothing I truly regret. Every challenge was a lesson in resilience. Cheers to the next chapter! 🥂 #anniversary  #NoRegrets taken in Mexico by @vanessatorres_rym

​From a single phone call to the stage—that's how the journey started with the incredible rosecoloredworld! @rcwofficial Working with them has been absolutely awesome. 🎤✨

​This is exactly what I love about RYM Magazine: discovering from all genres. rosecoloredworld is a perfect example; they put on a great show, and we could honestly listen to them all the time! If you haven't checked out their music yet, you absolutely should!
​Huge thanks to @amoderndaypirate for connecting the dots and making this amazing feature happen. taken in House of Blues Anaheim by @vanessatorres_rym
