🪴 Get To Know More About Me
I pursued graphic design at Marist College in New York where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media. During my first year, I became a liaison for The Center of Multicultural Affairs Office, fostering meaningful connections between the international student community and the College. This path led me to roles as a graphic designer, social media manager, and eventually Co-President of the Marist International Student Association (MISA). Over three years, I also designed event posters, flyers, and social media graphics as marketing collateral for the Marist Housing and Residential Life Office. After graduating, I joined The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hawaii as a marketing graphic designer, where I’ve honed my ability to merge my design expertise with marketing strategy.
I’m deeply passionate about blending creativity with marketing strategy to help brands authentically connect with their audience, define their message, and deliver it with impact. This passion strengthens my ability to support community and mission-based organizations in achieving their goals.
