Hello friend! I hope this message finds you well. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about me!

My name is Carla Vasquez but you can google me under Carla Jonas. (I’m serious haha) I am 30 years old, proud Latina, born and raise in the 956. I am here today to present to you my credentials and showcase why we should work together <3

Firstly, let’s talk about THE paper; you know the one. I earned a Bachelors of Arts Degree from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I majored in Mass Communications with a Broadcast focus in Radio and Television. I actually started off as a Theatre Major at another university but, because I enjoy acting so much, and being able to make the audience feel something due to my creations on stage, I wanted to explore a more universal way to evoke those feelings in others by the masses. I did still have Theatre credits and was frequently visiting the local high schools as an acting consultant, so I just kept Theatre as a minor and I do still like to audition, take acting classes, and act out scenes online but we can get into that later :)

Attending UTRGV allowed me to obtain the knowledge and understanding of not only journalism but ALL media outlets and communication relations. I designed and created several projects on my own such as magazines, advertisements, and concert flyers. I also conducted and edited videos that consisted of interviews, acting scenes, newscasts, and music while being in a professional setting. As well as authored and co-wrote several news articles, scripts, and even kept polishing my craft in performance and voice acting.

While I was exercising my creativity in the classroom and learning the aspects of media making, I was also taking advantage of outside opportunities. Starting as a Video Editor (then later also becoming the Head of Marketing and Assistant Photographer) for Edith Saldana Photography. It was there where I came to the realization that my true passion in life is creating, capturing and sharing memories. Which honestly was not a huge surprise considering the fact that I have so many pictures and so much footage of not only me but of everyone who has ever entered my life. Plus creating and sharing memories can come in so many different forms! Which is why I say I like to wear, “different hats.” The industry is a massive umbrella and I love working on everything that is under it, not just one single thing.

From the very first time I started picking up cameras in the first grade, I have always stayed documenting life . I’m pretty sure I’ve lost count of how many memory cards and external hard-drives I have accumulated over the years but, that makes me happy. It feels as if I carry my own personal time machine that anyone can enter to look back on. Capturing the moments that make life worth it and being able to create something that will represent all of that is what I live for. I want people to feel something when watching the content I capture/create; just like in theatre. Whether it’s a 30 second clip, an hour long vlog, or even just edited posts, I love to share it all.

The passion I have for capturing and creating content has even led me to work with Nick Jonas, The Jonas Brothers, and the Philymack team. SPOILER ALERT!!! Just incase you have not noticed, I am a HUUUUUUGE Jonas Brothers fan. I found them in 2006 and haven’t looked back since. My admiration for them really helped shaped me into who I am today. This is where I started learning about photoshop. editing, writing, creating content online before it was known as, “content creation.” I found a lot of my hobbies when showcasing the Jonas Brothers and I like to refer to myself now as a, “Professional Fangirl,” because of all the amazing and wonderful PROFESSIONAL opportunities from being a FANGIRL… Like… working with Nick Jonas.

Being a Nick Jonas Ambassador really showed me how much I enjoy promoting brands and artists, which, once again, no surprise because I cannot live without music. Concerts are 110% MY happy place; whoever is playing. With that being said, I took everything I was learning with NJA and brought it to my hometown where I started working as a Social Media Specialist for a local band named PULSUS. My mission was to help bring them into the spotlight. After I graduated, I also became the Social Media Specialist for my university’s chess team.

Being in-charge of several social media accounts (at a time) has proven how multitalented I am by self-creating everything that goes into them as well as distributing it all over every social media platform. I also produce content for my own self. I have a YouTube channel where I vlog my family, friends, concerts, travel adventures, and speak out on mental health (which is a topic I hold very close to my heart). Being a Mental Health advocate on Social Media was even highlighted to the world in Quibi's 2020 show "Thanks A Million", where Nick Jonas decided he wanted to thank me. He said that by being as open and as honest as I am, I inspire and help so many people just by sharing my story on social media.

I am also a brand ambassador/partner for brands such as Goli, PuraVida, David’s Perfume, 310 Nutrition, H-E-B, Sparkling Iced Spiked, Wingstop, and more. I have also been featured on several podcasts which I included in the “entertainment related,” page. By definition, I am considered a “micro-influencer.”

Currently, my biggest following on a platform is TikTok where I have 8.7 million likes and have 55,800 followers. TikTok is probably my favorite way of sharing content at the moment. There is so much you can do and it reaches so many people in seconds; it’s amazing. Plus it allows me to practice my acting craft without so much pressure and just focuses on the fun part of it.

Currently I am living in Los Angeles, California. For the past 10 years I had wanted to make the big move and now I am here; ready to chase my dreams. It’s been a little over 2 years and I have already experienced and learned so much! I am excited to keep growing.

With everything we work on together, I will bring creativity, versatility, authenticity, innovative ideas, and all the prior knowledge. Plus being on the Internet as a consumer of media for 18 years, I am confident that I know exactly what the specific target audience wants to see. I am an outgoing, hardworking, resilient, organized individual who can take the lead while also being a huge team player. I am beyond ready for these new opportunities with you and I am confident that I can provide all the qualities and more that the job requires.

I can’t wait to chat with you soon! God Bless <3
