About

I am a driven Marketing student at Texas State University with hands-on experience in sales, event promotion, and community engagement. As Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Hip Hop Congress at Texas State, I lead weekly marketing campaigns, coordinate fundraising initiatives, and build relationships with local artists and venues to grow our community presence. My background in sales at Clear Defense Pest Control sharpened my ability to communicate value, build client trust, and drive long-term retention. I'm passionate about connecting people, whether that's through live music events, campus outreach, or expanding professional networks through organizations like my time with the Hispanic Business Student Association. Currently seeking opportunities in Marketing, PR, or brand strategy where I can bring creativity, strong communication, and a genuine drive to build relationships that matter.
