About

MY
STORY

I'm a marketing student at FGCU pursuing a BS in Marketing with a minor in Brand Management, with relevant coursework in Consumer Behavior, Marketing Research, Brand Strategies, and Product & Brand Management.

As a Tour Marketing and Media Coordination Intern for Floyd Nation, I develop short-form video content and social assets across Meta, growing engagement from single-digit to triple-digit interactions. In 2025, I externed with Beats by Dre, designing and deploying a 4,000+ response consumer survey and delivering Gen Z insights through data dashboards and stakeholder presentations.

I'm also a Resident Assistant at FGCU and active in the Florida Public Relations Association, American Marketing Association, and the Gulf Coast Humane Society. Always building in and out of the classroom.
