Education

Where It Started

University of Florida
Bachelor of Science — Magazine Journalism
Minor: Theatre  ·  Gainesville, FL
Class of 2004

A journalism degree from one of the country's top communication programs — where the training wasn't just writing, it was researching deeply, understanding your audience, structuring a story, and meeting a deadline. The same skills, applied to marketing, every day.

Managing Editor & Writer — Orange & Blue Magazine
Student publication — directed all aspects of production including writing, editing, photography, and design. Spring 2003 edition.
🏛
President — Hispanic Communicators Association
Led academic and career development initiatives within journalism and communications disciplines. 2003.
🤝
Vice President — Pride Student Union
Fostered an inclusive campus community and supported student advocacy initiatives. 2001–2002.
📣
Publicity Director — Residence Hall Week
Led promotional strategy and communications for campus-wide residential events. 2000.

The journalism background is not incidental. Understanding how to research, structure a narrative, and communicate clearly to a specific audience is the foundation every effective marketing campaign is built on. That's what a magazine journalism degree at UF teaches — and it's been the constant thread through 10+ years of marketing work.
