What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role in creative production or social media where I can grow my visual storytelling, content strategy, and leadership skills.

I am a Creative Media Industries student at Texas Tech University with practical experience in photography, videography, editing, and social media management. I pair classroom training in visual communications and video production with hands-on content creation.

In campus and retail roles I developed strong customer service, organization, and trend-analysis skills—curating store selections and managing sales floors while maintaining attention to detail. I have led and organized large student groups as President and Vice President of Vitality Dance, coordinating events, practices, and performances.

As Vitality Dance Social Media Manager, I built a creative brand, produced photographic and video content, and managed Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube channels. I am proficient with Adobe Creative Cloud and Canva, and I apply creative writing and storytelling to strengthen engagement.

I seek opportunities to contribute visual storytelling, social media strategy, and creative production skills to teams that value collaboration, growth, and strong attention to detail.
