Growing up as an only child in a single-mother household, you might think I had a lonely childhood. I had quite the opposite. I grew up alongside my 14 cousins; 8 of us falling within a 10-year age range. Ask anyone I know and they will tell you my favorite place to be is New York surrounded by my favorite people: my family. I grew up creating dances and skits with my closest cousin, recording them on flip cameras and very early editions of the iPad. My passion for creating content started with my love for sharing these videos with the rest of our family. We would sit everyone down and play them the latest imaginary story we brought to life.
As I got older, those made-up stories turned into real-time snippets of our lives. I continue to document my time with my loved ones on social media and see the story of my family unfold. Everyone plays a character; my character has grown from a shy, quiet child to a confident, insightful adult. There are many loud characters in this story, but I find that I don’t demand the spotlight; I am happy to support those characters and shine in a different way. I have a strong ability to lead. As a public relations intern for a non-profit, I confidently led our Zoom meetings and facilitated communication between my team and the organization leaders. In my part-time jobs, I am a hardworking team-player. I face my fears. One of my biggest personal accomplishments in college was successfully completing a crisis communications course. I challenged my public speaking and quick-thinking skills as I represented the notorious vaping company JUUL in a press conference.
While all of these experiences have changed my character for the better, I find my real passion is in storytelling and branding. I am an Honors Carolina senior at UNC majoring in Advertising and Public Relations in the Hussman School with a second major in Hispanic Studies. My dream would be to work in entertainment or health and wellness representing brands and enhancing their stories. I would love to work in New York because that has always been my second home but I am also open to working in Raleigh or Charlotte. I am interested in pursuing different realms of PR and marketing and have experience in digital marketing and advertising as well.
