About Me
Ever since I can remember, I've had a deep love for art. At the tender age of 10, I created my first mural in the confines of my closet. From that point on, I wholeheartedly pursued my passion for art throughout middle school and high school. However, during my freshman year, a realization dawned on me - I couldn't draw as skillfully as my classmates. Nonetheless, my love for creativity persisted, and I stumbled upon an amazing opportunity at school: graphic design. It was a match made in heaven.
​
I swiftly fell in love with graphic design, and that year, I not only learned but also earned certification in Photoshop. My thirst for knowledge didn't stop there; I went on to master Illustrator and Indesign as well. As I ventured into undergraduate studies, my heart remained set on pursuing graphic design. Yet, an additional interest in business tugged at me. At the time, I was a Division 1 soccer player at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and my advisor suggested that I should opt for Marketing. So, I obliged and spent two years pursuing the subject. However, the passion for design continued to elude me, and my mental health at the time prompted me to step away from the soccer team.
​
In light of these challenges, I decided to make a change: I switched my major to Sociology and minored in Graphic Design. Looking back, it was unquestionably the best decision I could have ever made. Now, my dream is to work in the realm of social media marketing and sports marketing, combining my love for design, business, and sports.
​
I eagerly await what the future has in store for me, excited to see how my journey unfolds.
