What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a creative environment that values innovation and collaboration.

I am a creative communications professional with six years of experience and a lifelong passion for storytelling. My career has allowed me to execute strategic campaigns for renowned brands such as Porsche, Heineken, and Cisco. I hold a Master's Degree in Public Relations and Advertising from the University of Southern California, where I honed my skills in copywriting, content production, and data analytics. My strong track record of building relationships and crafting compelling brand narratives across digital and experiential channels sets me apart in the industry.

Currently, I serve as a Freelance Communications Manager for the Eviction Defense Network, where I handle external communications and press relations for a non-profit specializing in housing justice. Previously, I worked as an Account Executive at Rockets to the Moon Agency, where I successfully enhanced Porsche's brand recognition among Gen Z audiences through curated events and influencer partnerships. My experience also includes working with major brands in the entertainment sector, where I tracked audience metrics and compiled reports to demonstrate the value of product placements in primetime TV shows and blockbuster films.
