About
With a Bachelor's degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications from Johnson & Wales University and a background in General Studies from the University of Connecticut, I have honed my creative and strategic skills through various roles. At Pangea.app, I progressed from a Branding & Design Intern to leading a creative team, spearheading design projects, and launching product updates. My experience includes designing and executing digital and print assets, contributing to web development, and maximizing marketing reach on a limited budget. As Art Director at Candlelight Communications, I led projects for major clients like Adobe and Ocean Spray and presented at the 2020 National Student Advertising Competition.
