At Western Michigan University, I am involved in the Women's Business Network, and I took part in a service learning program where I volunteer at Loy Norrix High School. This was a semester-long project, but I decided to continue tutoring the students after the semester was over. For my future career, I am most interested in working with brands in fashion, beauty, skincare, and lifestyle. Outside of my professional life, I love to snowboard, crochet, and sew.
Other Things About Me
I was a digital marketing Intern at a web development company this summer (BizStream) and I learned a lot about web design and gained skills in Figma. However, I would love to learn more about analytics, research, and e-commerce because this is my primary area of interest and the work I aspire to do in my future career.

My personality tends to lean towards being an artist, so my outside interests include Music, Art, Photography, Painting, Nature Walks, Gardening, Cinematography and anything that is correlated with creating or exploring. If I haven't tried it I will because I'm very open minded and I see value in taking risks that others won't.
Other than that, I am either at work or at school full time, so I work towards each hobby accordingly in the minimal free time I have.
Other Things About Me
Not much digital marketing experience beyond my required courses, but I plan to take action towards that this year. I have acknowledged that I lack experience and I have to change that if I want to get a job in Digital Marketing eventually.

I’m really into fitness, wellness, and nutrition—I love going to the gym and cooking healthy meals. I also played club soccer and other recreational teams. I am currently training for a half marathon. I enjoy pushing myself, setting new goals, and seeing progress. I also love learning and trying new things. Outside of class, I spend my weekends waitressing and bartending, which has helped me build strong people skills and connect with all kinds of customers.
Other Things About Me
I’m passionate about working with brands I genuinely love and believe in. Currently interning at a massage spa, I focus on content creation, SEO, and social media. I enjoy trend-driven marketing that builds relationships and delivers results. Through coursework, I’ve conducted SEO and social media audits for real companies and created a website, posting blogs that involved keyword and audience research. My long-term goal is to own my own business, and I’d love to work with brands like Nike. I excel at creating strategies that are both creative and data-driven to achieve real results

My current interests involve attending Women in Business Network, Sales and Business Marketing, as well as Digital Marketing clubs. When I am not in school, I love to spend my time with family, and coming up with different ideas on how to get more traction on my sister's interior design instagram page with over 25,000 followers. It's so fun to strategize ideas and figure out the best ways that the audience responds to certain content that we put out!
Other Things About Me
Previously, I have had an internship with Sturgis Bank and Trust in their marketing department. My job was to join in on team meetings every week, pointing out certain things in our content or campaigns. Not only this, I also had several meetings with co - workers, which taught me how to communicate better in the workplace, and what content consumers are looking for on the banking side. I have also been the social media guru for my sisters instagram page since last year and have the most fun doing it! I love to learn new things that will take me further in my career and make me more knowledgable.

I enjoy watching movies, listening to music and traveling. I also make it a point to attend local cultural events, like art exhibitions or live music shows. They’re a great way to connect with the community and learn about different cultures, and it is fun to see what’s happening in my area.
Other Things About Me
I have had the chance to gain hands-on experience through managing an Instagram page as part of my current job on campus. I create posts that help students at my university discover and make use of campus resources, from tutoring services to wellness initiatives. This has given me a deeper understanding of audience engagement and how to craft content that resonates with a student community. Additionally, I spent a semester running a personal food review page, where I was in charge of creating content and doing some audience research. It was a fun project where I got to explore local dining spots and share my thoughts with others. Over time, I learned how to grow the page by focusing on what my audience enjoyed and what resonated with them, providing tips on the best places to eat around town. I would like to venture into e-commerce and have a long-term goal of owning and running a trucking business using my marketing skills to grow the business.

Outside of my college life, I've always been interested in graphic design, which started as a hobby back in high school and led to freelance work for Spanish battle rap organizations.

My digital marketing internship at a startup in Grand Rapids gave me hands-on experience in SEO research, content creation, Google Ads, and web design—skills that are crucial for eCommerce success.

I also trained and still work at my university’s IT Help Desk, honing my problem-solving and customer service skills.
Other Things About Me
My dream job is to own a clothing brand later down the road, but first, I want to work for American brands and help them connect with Hispanic/Latino markets by adapting their brand identity.

Constantly moving and traveling has made me highly adaptable, getting exposed to different cultures and perspectives. This adaptability helps me navigate the fast-changing world of digital marketing and fashion. Everything I do when it comes to design, tech, and marketing, is preparing me to launch a global, culturally resonant clothing brand.

When I am not at western michigan I am usually working at my family's RV dealership doing content creation to post on our social media channels (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok), email marketing campaigns, a little bit of SEO by creating blog posts and posting them to our blog page. I spend most of my time working but when I am not working I enjoy pheasant hunting at Rolling Hills in Marcelous, MI. It is a fantastic place to spend a Sunday morning. I also enjoy riding my Harley when the weather permits and working on my truck.
Other Things About Me
Some of my previous digital marketing experience includes working on Amazon Seller Central. Working on this platform is what got me into digital marketing and ultimately transferring to WMU's digital marketing program. While working on Amazon Seller Central I ran multiple different product ads on the platform and got good results like achieving a 25 ROAS on most product ads. While working on Amazon I also learned how design/create effective product listings to get a high number of conversions. I have a love hate relationship with Amazon, iykyk.

Outside of work and school, I enjoy staying active through workouts and sports. Whether I’m at the gym, playing basketball, or going for a run. I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself. It helps me stay motivated and disciplined. I'm also a big sports fan, especially soccer since I played from the age of 9 until I had to stop due to an ACL injury, but I still have love for the sport.
Other Things About Me
I'm currently working at Tommy's Express Carwash and plan to intern with their digital marketing team over the summer. This year, my goal is to gain experience in digital marketing and explore the different areas of the field to determine where my skills and interests fit best. I'm hoping to find a mentor who can help guide me and support my growth as I figure out my path in digital marketing.
