Hi! I’m Areca. I am a creative originally from the Island of Trinidad. I moved to the United States at age 17 and am currently on a mission to live my best life in Los Angeles, CA.
I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 2012 and served as a public affairs specialist. For a decade, I used my writing, photography, design, and videography skills to communicate top executives’ strategic intent. In addition, my military career allowed me to travel across Europe, where I got the unique opportunity to be part of an integrated communications team of allies and partners.
Today, I am a creator with a focus on culture, style, beauty and travel. Through my personal and professional work, I communicate heart and empathy.
My accomplishments include 16 media awards, documenting various distinguished visitors, including the President of the United States and Secretary of Defense. In addition, my work has been published internationally by several news outlets, including The New York Times, Reuters and CNN.
