🪴 Get To Know More About Me
I pursued graphic design at Marist University (formerly as Marist College) in New York where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Digital Media. In 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). In the following years, I would design 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 graphic design with marketing strategy. Now based in Brooklyn, New York, I am working alongside a medium-sized team of designers in the baby and pet industry.
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 family-centered brands in achieving their goals.
