About me
I’m currently a business marketing student at Colorado State University with a strong interest in sports, social media, and digital strategy. A lot of my free time goes into training, playing sports, and creating content, and I’m especially interested in how storytelling and social platforms can turn attention into long-term engagement.
I’ve worked as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and high-end busser, which taught me how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly with people of all ages, and work well on a team. Those experiences have carried over into how I approach group projects, leadership, and client-style work in school.
Over the next few years, I want to keep developing my skills in digital marketing, analytics, and content strategy so I can help brands—especially in the sports and lifestyle space—connect with their audience in a real and memorable way.

I designed and built a full sports marketing website centered around athlete-focused branding, media services, and digital content strategy. The site includes clean, modern sections that highlight services like photography, videography, social media management, and brand development. I used WordPress to structure the pages, customize the layout, and create a visually consistent design that fits the high-energy sports aesthetic. This project strengthened my skills in web design, content organization, and building a professional online presence for a creative, service-based business.
