Julia Malavé
Social Media Manager
Julia was born in Venezuela and partly raised in Miami. She went to school for psychology in Boston to better understand why people read the menu the day before going to a restaurant and, after a few cold winters, decided to come back to sunny (and very humid) Miami. She then decided to start a food blog and pursue her creative skills as a social media manager in the hospitality industry. Now she manages all things social for The Infatuation Miami.
