    Founder of a field-first market expansion firm supporting renewable energy manufacturers entering complex markets across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. I work on the ground with installers, distributors, and EPC teams to understand how products actually perform once they reach the field. My role is to help manufacturers bridge the gap between headquarters strategy and jobsite reality, translating field-level insight into information that product, sales, and marketing teams can actually act on.

      Twende x Adjuntas Agrovoltaics — Coffee Farm Deployment Project
      Jun 2025 - Nov 2025 (6 months)
      This project became one of the most meaningful field deployments of my career. Twende Solar partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to install a first-of-its-kind agrovoltaic system on a working coffee farm in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. My role was to embed on-site and document not only the installation, but the operational, cultural, and human impact behind it. Over several months, I captured comprehensive field coverage including drone cinematography, ground operations, technical walkthroughs, and interviews with local farmers.

      This project became one of the most meaningful field stories I’ve ever captured. Twende Solar partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to build a first-of-its-kind, storm-resilient agrivoltaic system on a working coffee farm in the mountains of Adjuntas, Puerto Rico.

Over several months, I captured the full story: drone cinematics, ground footage, interviews with farmers, the importance of coffee to Adjuntas, and how solar can stabilize a region that has lived through decades of unreliable energy and natural disasters. But this project also had a strategic layer: I leveraged this documentary as a t

I initiated direct contact with the Sub-Zero corporate marketing team and opened the door to a deeper sustainability narrative. I coordinated with their Head of Corporate Sustainability, flew her into Texas, and directed a full storytelling production around the installation, the brand’s sustainability commitments, and the impact of integrating solar into their flagship showroom.

We partnered with Unlimited Energy and BigBattery to install a complete off-grid solar + battery system and captured the cultural context, technical execution, and emotional impact on the family. This project demonstrates how mission-driven solar brands can build trust, cultural relevance, and long-term market presence through authentic storytelling rooted in real field conditions.
