About

Graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and a minor in Italian Studies, I have built a diverse portfolio of experiences in journalism and customer service. My professional journey includes roles such as Marketing Manager at the Minneapolis Farmers Market, where I coordinated social media, events and managed communications, and various editorial positions where I have honed my skills in content creation, editing, and reporting. My international experience includes a stint at Florence Food Studio, where I contributed to social media marketing and gained hands-on culinary skills.
