Latin Times Magazine: Where are you and your family from? What is your Hispanic heritage?

Latin Times Magazine: Tell us about what you do for a living and how you got into it

Natascha Otero-Santiago: I am a Public Relations / Marketing Consultant focused on businesses owned by Puerto Ricans in Florida and expansions of Puerto Rican businesses from the island to the mainland. For the past 15 years I have dedicated myself to the growth of these businesses and the growth of the South Florida economy from minority-owned businesses.

Latin Times Magazine: In your industry, what would you say separates you from your competition

Natascha Otero-Santiago: My profession is based on the hospitality industry and all my clients closed their doors during the height of COVID in Florida. As a consultant and head of household, the lack of income during this time was a challenge.
