Pageant Social Media Expert, Veronica Olivarez

About Veronica:

Veronica is a digital marketing consultant, solo-traveler, and creative professional who believes in living big and laughing often. I specialize in assisting entrepreneurs with digital marketing strategies to help build a clean and effective online presence. After graduating with a BBA in Marketing from the University of Houston and 2 years in the oil industry, I felt something was missing; it was an adventure. A 3-week trip to Spain turned into almost 3 years abroad. The adventure wasn’t just plane rides and books on the beach, it was meeting new entrepreneurial women friends and reconnecting with pageant sisters (I was Miss Teen United America 2009) that were looking to make their mark in the world. All these women had two things in common 1: they needed help with “that social media stuff” and 2: they trusted me with their passwords. For the past 3 years, I have researched and learned the ins and outs of social media and the best practices to build a brand online. I was featured in a Women in Business spotlight for Eclectic Shades Magazine out of Austin, Texas to share my expertise with social media and small businesses. Even with all that I’ve learned, I struggle with imposter syndrome and always think there is someone who knows more and sometimes cringe when I call myself a “social media expert” but the truth is I am a Digital Marketing Consultant, Social Media Expert, and Public Speaker. 

Pageant life came full circle Thanksgiving 2018 when I was planning a trip to Sicily to visit my college friend and I had a message from Dr. Corinne Devin, a pageant sister who was stationed in Italy. I told her I was headed her way and invited her to our Thanksgiving dinner to find out she was only 15 minutes away! 9 years later we picked up where we left off and I started working with her and the International Ms. Pageant to support their social media initiatives.   

When I am not managing social media accounts, creating content, or learning new digital marketing strategies, I take a break from the screens and go bike riding or crochet a new blanket. I am currently in Montgomery, Texas having coffee with my mom and taking my nephews for ice cream. I look forward to traveling abroad again but excited to explore the great state of Texas in search of beautiful sunsets and good food!

I am finding my place in the world working alongside strong women to help build their online presence, providing someone they can trust as a sounding board for their ideas and join them on their adventure.
