What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to grow in organizational communication and contribute to meaningful projects.

I am a recent graduate from The University of Texas at El Paso, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Organizations and Corporate Communication. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to help organizations and the public develop and maintain strong relationships. I am eager to apply my knowledge in a professional setting and contribute positively to any team.

In my current role as a Color Guard Instructor at Horizon High School, I teach dance and flag techniques while creating choreography for performances. This position has honed my communication skills and ability to manage social media accounts effectively. Additionally, my internship with Candlelighters of El Paso allowed me to gain valuable experience in media relations, where I ensured that our community was informed about events and opportunities through social media and website management.
