About

With a Bachelor's degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications from Johnson & Wales University, I have cultivated a strong foundation in creative leadership and strategic marketing. My professional journey began with dual enrollment at the University of Connecticut, which laid the groundwork for my subsequent roles. As a Creative at Pangea.app since 2019, I have led a small team in crafting content across various channels, launching product updates, and designing marketing materials. My efforts in rebranding and repositioning the company have been pivotal, alongside my contributions to web development and UI/UX design. Previously, I served as Art Director at Candlelight Communications, where I was the head art director for the 2019 and 2020 National Student Advertising Competition, working with notable clients like Adobe and Ocean Spray. My experience reflects a blend of creative direction and practical execution, driving brand growth and innovation.
