About

I love bringing visions to life, whether it be my own, my boss’s, or a client’s. Creating a strong brand and engaging communication materials is my passion. My background in creating compelling plots and characters as a creative writer has made me a vivid brand writer. My work as a Public Relations Intern has familiarized me with SEO optimization, press release writing, and keeping a brand at the center of all communications. I’m experienced in email design and have secured multiple interviews for a podcast and pitched to local media outlets. I am a recent CSULB graduate and will be beginning a master's program in PR and Corporate Communications at Georgetown this fall. I am open to work and check messages here frequently!
