Jauretsi Saizarbitoria was born in Miami to Cuban parents who owned Centro Vasco, a Cuban institution for music and food dating back to Havana's stomping grounds where her grandfather founded it. She moved to New York to work for Paper Magazine throwing downtown finest parties. She later served as Entertainment Director for Details Magazine where she eventually jumped into the Editorial side. She later went on to serve as Entertainment Editor for Jane Magazine while contributing to a few other respected independents. After a decade of publishing, Jauretsi directed her first feature documentary, East of Havana (2006).
A lover of the Internet, Jauretsi is now creating and developing a New Media & Film department for Starworks, a global creative casting agency located out of New York's Soho District. Starworks is known for casting high-end fashion campaigns (from Uma Thurman/Louis Vuitton to Maggie Gyllenhall/Miu Miu to Iggy Pop/John Varavatos), and for its editorial department which serves as Entertainment Editors booking covers for 12 magazines (from Teen Vogue to UK's Wonderland). Her comments on Entertainment culture have appeared on MTV, VH-1, E!, Style Channel, and Fox News. She currently resides in New York.
