I'm all about the magic of communication. I got my Bachelor's in Public Relations and even dabbled in Political Science at California State University, Long Beach. But my journey into the beautiful world of words started way back at Los Angeles Pierce College, where I picked up Associate Arts Degrees in Journalism and English. Yes, I'm that person who can't resist a good story!
These days, I'm having a blast as an Account Coordinator at H&M Communications. My gig? Well, it's all about being in the fast lane, working alongside a fantastic team, and crafting bilingual (Spanish and English) messages for big shots like Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, and Telemundo Network. From whipping up media alerts and catchy pitches to keeping travel plans on track and expenses in check, I make sure our clients' stories hit all the right notes.
But here's the real deal: I'm passionate about community building in multicultural spaces. I believe that communication is the key to bringing diverse voices together and fostering a better understanding of one another. Whether it's tailoring messages for different cultural backgrounds or organizing events that get people mingling, I'm all in.
My skill set? It's a mix of writing, strategy, budget management, and contacting the media with killer pitches. Thanks to my journalism and English background, I've got an eagle eye for details. Plus, I'm fluent in Spanish and English, which is handy for connecting with diverse audiences.
I'm all about building meaningful connections. So, I've got talent, client, and donor relations down pat. I'm a research geek, always crunching numbers to ensure our strategies hit the mark. And when it comes to creating content and presenting ideas, I'm your go-to creative genie.
In the future, I aspire to transition into the public affairs or non-profit sector, where I can use my communication and community-building skills to impact society positively. I am passionate about addressing social issues and believe effective communication is critical to driving meaningful change. I look forward to leveraging my experience and expertise to contribute to causes that align with my values and vision for a better world.
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and let's chat soon!
