Hola! I'm Vanessa
Latina Travel & Hospitality Marketer and Social Media Career Coach Founder of "Influence with Cultura Marketing Podcast"Travel & Hospitality Marketer by Day & Social Media Career Coach by Night!
Hola! I am Vanessa Parra, Social Media & Digital Marketer in the Hospitality & Tourism industry. I am an Online Marketer. Online digital marketing strategies are my preferred methods of growing a business. My expertise is in social media marketing and Influencer Marketing. I’ve worked on the marketing teams of the Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Aramark at Asilomar Conference Grounds, & Gilroy Gardens Theme Park. I’ve mentored and coached college students and small businesses on the best social media practices for their business and personal brand.
As a first-generation Mexican-American, I did everything I was supposed to get that dream job in Marketing. I was the first in my family to receive a bachelor’s degree. Yet I struggled because not only did I graduate during a recession back in 2011, I had no network or mentors with similar backgrounds, personally or professionally, that could guide or help me along the way. It took me a bit longer to land that first job in social media. After much trial and error and working as a recruiter and in Human Resources, I finally figured out the right strategy to get more interviews and get that social media job.
My mission is to help marginalized communities market their businesses. As well as help those interested in becoming a Social Media Manager speed up the process and land that first social media job.
Be Sassy. Be You!
