What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles in editorial/print design where I can use research-driven, narrative-focused layouts, typography, and collaboration to turn stories into clean, geometric, impactful experiences.

I hold a bachelor's degree and recently completed my associate's degree, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. My career has been built on strong customer service experience, where I've developed skills in communication, problem-solving, and working effectively with diverse populations. I'm multilingual, which allows me to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

I'm energized by roles that require adaptability, quick thinking, and genuine care for others. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and work well as part of a collaborative team. I'm dependable, stay calm under pressure, and take pride in the quality of my work.

I enjoy traveling and exploring new places in my free time. I'm flexible, eager to learn, and ready to take on opportunities that challenge me professionally and allow me to grow.
