About Me
As a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut with a major in Digital Media and Design I plan to assist fellow teammates in growing a social following and online sales. I have experience in retail sales as well as online selling in multiple fields and brands. I as well have volunteered over a hundred hours for multiple community groups in Connecticut where I from to better not only myself as well as where I live. Making connections and growing a community is a great passion of mine that I hope to bring to the table. I come from the small island of Puerto Rico understanding that any size group can make a difference. I also have learned the toughness, perseverance, and changing mentality needed for this competitive field from my high school sports experience. My biggest feat coming out of college have been having three jobs at once to pay for school while also working with the programs agency group to help local companies. Not only have I worked to promote the agency itself with executing strategies but also companies like Fresh Nation a middle man between local product vendors and groceries. Furthermore, I have assisted my universities sports club in branding with logos and posters which some are still being used. I have basic experience in pre-production, budgeting, scripting, design, and executing for events and strategies. I want to bring these skill to the workforce and continue to grow.
