About Me 

I wear many hats, working as an internal communications assistant and social media manager at DePaul University. I also intern in public relations for the agency Guide My Brand and senior writer at Just N Life Magazine. The cherries on top are being an associate editor at 14East Magazine and the arts and life editor at DePaul's Latine newsline, LaDePaulia. 

​

Let's go back a few years to 2021 where I started my first office job at DePaul. For 2+ years, I networked with nonprofit CEOs as a service-learning coordinator, inspiring students to cement meaningful connections with grassroots movements in Chicago. It was during this position that my lifelong passion for social equity flourished. 

​

If there's one thing that service-learning coordination has taught me, it is that my career in journalism, social media and PR must always be centered in asset-based community development.

 

This means my approach to journalism focuses on the strengths marginalized communities already have, allowing them to direct us on how to empower them further. It means my approach to PR strategy focuses on how our clients not only innovate their field, but how they contribute to community change and social good. 

​

I'm graduating with a master's degree at 22. In this short amount of time as a student, I've had a lot of successes including winning an international journalism award and getting my articles published on big platforms like HerCampus Media and Newsbreak. 

​

I believe in corporate responsibility, grassroots change and most importantly, the "e" in DEI. Diversity and inclusion only take us so far. Equity drives us to success. All companies need someone to drive this success and for that reason, I'm up for the challenge. 

​

When I'm not in my "weekend warrior" mindset, you'll find me browsing different crystal shops, binging true crime and watching The People's Court on a Sunday afternoon.
