What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in marketing, events, or student engagement where I can apply social media, event planning, and communication skills to drive participation and build community.

I am a marketing and events professional with hands-on experience in campus communications, social media management, and event execution. I have supported study abroad programming, organized cultural festivals, and administered promotional campaigns that engaged student communities.

My background includes roles as a social media manager, student assistant, and peer advisor where I handled content creation, photography contests, poster and flyer design, and general office operations. I have been recognized for developing and executing marketing strategies, including a hospitality project for La Finca Azul in Costa Rica and large campus events such as Springfest and Mid-Autumn/Lunar New Year celebrations.

I bring strong interpersonal skills, an outgoing presence in customer-facing roles, and practical technical familiarity with Microsoft Office, Adobe, Canva, R-Studio, and basic data analytics. I am conversational in Italian and have beginner proficiency in Mandarin and French.
