What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful marketing strategies and grow within a dynamic team.

I'm a creative and motivated social media marketer with a strong background in customer service, retail, and team leadership. Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Merchandising at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I focus on branding, digital marketing, and social media strategy. My education has been complemented by additional training from Parsons and Mod’Spe Paris, which has deepened my understanding of the fashion and marketing industries.

Known for my adaptability and organizational skills, I thrive in collaborative environments. I have a strong interest in helping brands connect with their audiences through clear and engaging content. My experience as a Team Leader at Chick-fil-A has equipped me with leadership skills and the ability to ensure customer satisfaction while contributing to social media initiatives. I am eager to grow and contribute to the fields of marketing, social media, and brand communication.
