Hey, I’m Rocio — founder of Marketing by Rocio, where I help LGBTQ+ and POC-owned businesses grow through clear strategy, local SEO, and custom WordPress sites. I work with therapists, lawyers, and service-based entrepreneurs who are ready to show up and shine online. Born in the Dominican Republic, raised in New York City, and now based in Paris — when I’m not working, I’m probably petsitting or planning my next trip.
