Student at the University of Colorado Boulder

United States

I am a senior at the University of Colorado Boulder, majoring in marketing. I am passionate about creative storytelling and strategic thinking, and I have developed skills in content creation, social media management, and data-driven marketing. My coursework, including Software and Design Applications, Strategic Thinking in Writing, and Media Research, has strengthened my ability to analyze audience engagement.

This past summer, I worked as a marketing intern at Phigenics, where I gained hands-on experience shaping a corporate rebrand. I analyzed competitor brand creative elements, explored opportunities to elevate Phigenics’ visual identity, and contributed to creative evolutions across logos, typography, color palettes, and iconography. I also helped develop brand templates and supported an activation and conversion plan to bring new creative directions to life. Through this work, I strengthened my skills in strategic storytelling, collaboration, and creative problem-solving—all while discovering how much I enjoy crafting brand identities that connect with diverse audiences in meaningful ways.
