I am a motivated graphic design graduate based in Chicago with a strong interest in branding, typography, and digital design. I enjoy being creative and using design to tell stories and connect with people. I am known for being positive, polite, reliable, and hardworking, and I always try to give my best effort in everything I do. My strong organizational and problem-solving skills help me stay focused, meet deadlines, and support others when they need help.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design with a minor in Marketing from Columbia College Chicago between 2023 and 2026. Through my coursework in packaging design, graphic design, and branding, I developed skills in creating professional, visually appealing work that supports strong brand identities. I am experienced with Adobe Suite, Canva, and Microsoft Office, and I am comfortable working in both English and Spanish.
Alongside my studies, I worked as a Seasonal Pro Shop and Cart Attendant at Burnham Woods Golf Course from 2021 to 2025. In this role, I managed transactions, kept the space organized, and provided friendly customer service. This experience helped me build strong communication skills and taught me the importance of responsibility and teamwork.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, spending time in nature, and playing golf, which helps keep me inspired and motivated. My current goals are to continue building my design portfolio and to create a social media platform where I can share my artwork. I take pride in being detail-oriented, committed to learning, and known as a good friend, classmate, and coworker who always works hard and stays positive.
