About

I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida, where I pursued studies in Studio Arts, Graphic Design and Communication. I have a deep-rooted love for creation and interactive learning which has allowed me to transform whimsical ideas into beautiful realities. I thrive in hands on environments and have a passion for curating engaging visual arrangements through my art and everyday practices. Serving as an official ambassador for The School of Art and Art History, I had the pleasure of working with administration to plan events centered around peer engagements and support. Further, working in collaborative environment allowed me to improve my teambuilding and leadership skills through student led seminars and the Ambassador Mentorship Program. Career wise, the past two years I have spent the summer working at fast paced PR Agencies based in NYC. My time at Novella Paghera PR and LaForce involved analyzing and organizing data in Excel grids as well as a keen eye for detecting patters and minute details. Not only that, but I also had the opportunity to work an event hosted by one of LaForce’s clients at the New York Historical Society. This event took place during Pride Month and was a private viewing of “Under Cover” an exhibition of the works of J.C. Leyendecker. Interacting with the attendants and greater community was an absolute pleaser as this event demonstrated how important it is to preserve and uplift art that speaks to marginalized groups. I have a great admiration for the theatrical arts and frequented visiting ballets and orchestra performances hosted at my university.  I am and always will be an avid spokesperson for the preservation of the arts, especially when it comes to representing marginalized groups. Visual language is one of the strongest, universal languages that can be communicated, and I am a dedicated to creating more space for creators who historically have not always been given a platform to share their message   Some highlights from my experiences include:   ·      Curating social media content for the NPPR Instagram ·      Winning First Place in a mock pitch competition for LaForce client Veuve Clicquot ·      Creating website and social media content using Adobe Illustrator ·      Managing product inventory documents ·      Tracking influencer research and product gifting
