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.

I am an international student from Indonesia. I love to go to new places like downtown Kalamazoo, and so far I found 3 hidden gems that have been my favorite places to hang out with friends, and they are the LFG Gaming bar, One Well Brewing, and Texas Corral Salon and Restaurant.

I currently have no activities other than doing a Student Professional Readiness Series (SPuRS), which consists of some 4-level activities like workshops that are done in person. That requires business students to finish the first two levels.

Other than that, I have an e-commerce store that I want to focus on since that is what I am interested in, and right now I am still struggling with my content creation and etc to drive sales, which is why I hope to find a mentor who can teach me to set up my e-commerce store.
Other Things About Me
I also used to be a volunteer/member of an organisation called "Leadership involvement Team" in the valley when I lived there for my first 2 years at WMU. My job was creating flyers to let the residents of the valley know about the once-per-week events we held and producing ideas of what type of event would be fun to do throughout the year. and was able to increase the number of attendees from less than 10 students to more than 20 students at each event.

I have a certification in Google Analytics for completing the quizzes and the video study and finished the Quiz with 98% accuracy.

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.
