What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills and creativity in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am an innovative and goal-driven professional with a degree in Mass Communications from Texas State University. My educational background, combined with my hands-on experience in web and media design, has equipped me with the skills to create engaging content that resonates with diverse audiences. I have a strong foundation in digital media, web design, and public relations, which I leverage to enhance communication strategies.

Currently, I serve as a Fund Development and Data Support Specialist at Amigos de las Américas, where I coordinate various tasks for fundraising and alumni engagement. My role involves drafting donor communication materials and managing data entry, which has honed my attention to detail and organizational skills. Additionally, I have experience in client relations through my work as a Petsitter with Rover, where I excelled in customer retention and scheduling.
